Research Question;
The question we would like to pose is ? can glass be more environmentally and socially responsible?

Glass manufacturing has considerable negative impacts on the environment, considering the abundant consumption of O2 and release of CO2 during glass melting combustion, and the non-renewable fuel used in fired furnaces and other devices. Moreover, CNN News’s research (2004) indicates that up to 1 billions birds died by crashing into glass window every year in any developed country. Glass-skinned skyscrapers are estimated to “kill” appropriately 200 birds every day.

It is self-evident that numerous transparent glass windows in residential and commercial buildings remain closed with the use of curtain most of the day. People need privacy - particularly in Tokyo where houses and office are in an unimaginable close proximity.
