Once upon a time, Toledo made the glass for Ford's cars, and glass magnate Edward Libbey endowed the city's art museum. So, just as Libbey's company, in the late 1950s, put up the glassiest thing in town as their headquarters, the museum, in the 2000s, put up possibly the glassiest thing in the country for a new annex devoted to glass-making, glass objects, and probably, glass class. Clear enough?
SANAA, of course, are the perfect fit for the task; we've elsewhere seen their neo-Miesian minimalism pushing (with some smart visual sleight-of-hand) the apparent limits of what you can ask glass to do, getting a building down to almost nothing, and probing the use of the material as a visual uniter and spatial separator. The Glass Pavilion makes the most of all these, cereating something like a Miesian pavilion, heated until the glass turned soft, and bent around itself like a cinnamon roll. (See plan in map view.) Spaces are separated from each other by bands of air with glass on each side - a redundancy that probably helps with maintaining separate climate-control for the studio and museum spaces, but which also highlights the absence of normal wall thickness (or the presence of glass-as-poché).
This would be frustrating and maze-like in a larger building; I complained about the Kanazawa Museum for exactly this reason. But the scale at Toledo is just right for this sort of thing - it's enjoyable to explore, to look into and out of, but you'll not come close to getting lost. The man behind the curtain is the basement, into which bulky and unattractive mechanical and logistical zones have been tucked, but hey, that was true of the Barcelona Pavilion too. Very nice project.

Sanno Park Tower, an iconic high-rise in Tokyo’s Chiyoda district, seamlessly combines sleek, modern architecture with functional design. Completed in 2000, this 44-story building is notable for its sophisticated structural lines and innovative architectural features that highlight Japan's commitment to combining aesthetics with practicality. Designed by renowned architectural firm Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei, the building is a masterpiece of Japanese urban design, showcasing minimalist yet impactful features that make it stand out in Tokyo's skyline.
One of the building’s unique architectural highlights is the circular glass structure at its entrance, which creates a visually striking focal point. This pavilion-like addition, with its radial design and metal framework, provides a sense of openness and flow that welcomes visitors while maintaining a distinctively modern feel. The glass and steel elements reflect light beautifully, especially on rainy days, adding an element of elegance to the entire structure. The area around Sanno Park Tower is immaculately landscaped, providing a balance between the building’s imposing presence and the surrounding greenery.
Sanno Park Tower serves as a business hub and is home to major companies and government offices, making it a vital part of Tokyo’s economic landscape. The tower's environmentally conscious design incorporates energy-saving technologies and sustainable materials, reflecting Japan's ongoing dedication to eco-friendly construction practices.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore, at 501 East Pratt Street on Pier 3 of theInner Harbor, is the most visited attraction in Maryland, with an an annual attendance of 1.6 million to see its collection of approximately 16,500 specimens and more than 660 species of animals. The aquarium, which opened in 1981, consists of three buildings joined by a single enclosed walkway/bridge. The larger building, Pier 3 Pavilion, designed by Massachusetts-based Cambridge Seven Associates, Inc., under the architectural direction of Peter Chermayeff, contains the main gallery, which overlooks a the Wings on Water, a large pool occupied by rays, tarpon, and a green sea turtle. The gallery begins with a series of upward spiraling floors connected by long escalators, featuring fish from Maryland, up to a rainforest habitat inside a 64-foot high glass pyramid. A downward spiral exits back to the main gallery, surrounded by an Atlantic Coral Reef exhibit and a shark tank. The smaller building, Pier 4 Pavilion, was added in 1990, and features dolphinarium and temporary exhibit space. A multimillion dollar renovation and expansion in 2005, led by Bobby C. Poole at Chermayeff, Sollohub & Poole, added the Glass Pavilion, which features Animal Planet Australia, a large-walk-in aviary representing a river gorge in Australia.
The United States lightship Chesapeake (LV-116) was built as a floating lighthouse and communications platform for the U.S. Lighthouse Service in 1930 by the Charleston Drydock and Machine Company. She was first stationed at Fenwick Island, Delaware. In 1933, she assumed the name Chesapeake from her position off the Virginia coast at the entrance to Chesapeake Bay. Re-designated WAL-538 when the Lighthouse Service was absorbed by the U.S. Coast Guard in 1939, she subsequently was moved to Sandwich, Massachusetts with light armament to serve as an Examination Vehicle during World World II in 1942. After the war, she returned to the Chesapeake station and ended her service at the Delaware Bay station in 1970. Following her retirement, the Chesapeake was transferred to the National Park Service and in 1981, she joined the Baltimore Maritime Museum's collection of historic ships.

One of the more anachronistic professions I explored was that of Disk Jockey, makes one think of greasy hair, tobacco breath microphones,and a wicked wax job, ouch, not that kind..... After a concert at Johns Hopkins Glass Pavilion to see Ralph Records artist TUXEDOMOON, they signed my posters. We drove around B-More cruising for Deli with these guys.
TUXEDOMOON is still cool, I am not.
