Challenging Glass

Challenging Glass is an international bi-annual conference that aims at gathering world class designers, engineers, researchers and industry partners to discuss on the architectural and structural use of glass.

Due to the continuing uncertainty regarding the corona pandemic and the ongoing travel restrictions it is decided to hold Challenging Glass 7 as a short free of charge webinar. The webinar consist of a keynote presentation by Chikara Inamura and selected author pitches.
