Sažetak
From early days mankind has been fascinated with the transparency and shine of the glass. Characteristics of glass, such as transparency, refraction of light waves and the diversity of colours and shapes, make it an ideal material for "the eyes of a building" (windows). Glass is also used as a decorative material within buildings as well as in fine art. Glass was discovered in Egypt, about 5000 years B.C. Now day’ s glass is mainly used for the face of a structure, attached to its own framework. It visually connects the interior with the exterior and keeps out the elements.
