///30 Years of Glass Innovation – The glass technology live Archive
Since 1996, glass technology live (gtl) has been a highlight of glasstec in Düsseldorf, bringing together researchers, architects, engineers, and industry partners every two years to showcase the latest developments in glass technology for architecture and construction.
Over three decades, the exhibition has witnessed and presented an extraordinary evolution: from structural glazing and innovative façade systems to digital fabrication, smart glass, new material technologies, and sustainable construction.
And now, this history of innovation is accessible: An extensive archive documents the projects, prototypes, and technological developments presented at glass technology live over the years. It is much more than a collection of exhibition projects – it is a fascinating record of how architectural glass technology has evolved, which ideas became reality, and how research and industry have continuously pushed the boundaries of what glass can do.
For anyone interested in the development and future of glass in architecture, this archive is a remarkable resource and a source of inspiration.
Thirty years of ideas, experiments, and innovation – definitely worth exploring!
