It traces the historical development of continuous glass walls in modern architecture, highlighting contributions from architects such as Le Corbusier, Mies Van Der Rohe, Richard Neutra, and Pierre Koenig. Slim line glazing systems address previous limitations related to glass panel size, frame dimensions, and thermal performance by employing stronger, insulated glass units and minimal framing, enabling ultra-thin profiles and enhanced spatial continuity. The article also discusses the sustainability, resiliency, and cost-effectiveness of these systems, supported by contemporary case studies demonstrating their application in residential and commercial architecture. pubtype: Trade Publication doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Architectural Record is the property of BNP Media and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
