Ok here it is!
The next edition of our Materials Mini-Series is all about glass. Buildings where glass is a prominent feature (cos most buildings will use some glass in them). So you know the rules; post up pics of yer fave glass buildings, stuff near you, stuff you pass on your journeys, stuff you've seen abroad, basically anything that ggets your attention and moves you in some way. Big or small, it don't matter. something that has meaning to you.
