Fan shaped glass school-The Heights
Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) designed The Heights public school in Virginia, outside Washington, DC, which is a fan-shaped glass school.
The Heights public school uses a large number of insulated glass curtain walls. The front of the building is full of glass windows and glass doors, so that the students in the school can enjoy the surrounding scenery and relax their nervous mood in their spare time.

A large number of glass partitions and glass doors and windows inside the school echo the external glass windows and create a view for other spaces in the building.
Ingus once said"Glass walls open up views between the different activities, making it a three-dimensional composition of all aspects of learning and living in the school."

As a symbol of modern architecture, glass has many functions. For example: insulated glass can be used as a glass curtain wall to replace the traditional cement wall and reduce the weight of high-rise buildings. In addition, the glass curtain wall can be thermally insulated and has a good energy saving effect.
Laminated glass can effectively block 99% of ultraviolet rays and protect indoor furniture. And when the laminated glass is broken, the glass will stick to the PVB film, will not fall and hurt people, and has high safety performance.
