<p>During the last year we have developed a building component which helps constructing curved walls from glass. Essentially we have enhanced the profile of channel glass – a rolled glass product which is in production since decades. The new shape makes brittle glass fit for any sort of curve.…</p>

<p>More on the underlying idea is found on the <a href="http://www.c--c.net" target="_blank">project website</a>. Here's a few images, illustrating our usage of Grasshopper in the project. It would have been pretty tedious to build all these arrays by hand...<em><span class="font-size-1"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.c--c.net"><img width="703" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2804746334?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="703"/></a></span></em><span class="font-size-1">No need to stop with straight elements: Extrusion variants for more complex scenarios.<br/></span></p>
