The second half of the twentieth century has ushered in new advancements in the field of architectural and civil engineering. One such material that is increasing being put to novel uses in building structures is architectural glass. Even though glass has been used in building facades since a very long time, the complexity of modern structures demands use of powerful design and analysis tools to achieve the desired goals. The current paper discusses one such application of insulated glass in a serpentine all-glass wall at the base of a building in Dallas, TX. The challenge in designing the glass to the required standards of safety come from the fact that each piece of glass is different and is warped to achieve an organic contour.
