Designer: Mies van der Roe (LudwigMiesVanderRohe)
Location: Right Bank of the Fox River (FoxRiver) in Plano,Illinois, Illinois, United States

However, this design also sacrifices some of the sense of privacy and security.
Glass House (GlassHouse)
Designer: Philip Johnson (PhilipJohnson)
Location: New Canaan,Connecticut (NewCanaan,Connecticut), USA
Features: As an early example of the application of industrial materials to home design, the overall structure and material texture of the glass house are more simplified and low-key than Farnsworth houses, and better hidden in the surrounding environment. It is a weekend retreat cottage designed by Johnson for himself.
Cathedral of Brasilia
Designer: Oscar Niemeyer (OscarNiemeyer)
Location: Brasilia

Reichstag glass dome
Location: Berlin, Germany
Features: This dome, which is jokingly called the "British egg", is simple and powerful. It not only reflects the style of contemporary architectural aesthetics, but also a technical masterpiece. It uses a combination of glass and steel structure to provide sufficient light and open vision for the interior of the building.
Louvre Pyramid
Designer: I .M. Pei
Location: In the courtyard of the Louvre in Paris, France
Features: The Louvre Pyramid is a large pyramid-shaped building made of glass and metal with a unique and modern design.
