Join the Glass House for a talk by Andrew Heid. Heid wrote the introduction to the 2023 Phaidon monograph Glass Houses, which presents 50 stunning architect-designed homes that utilize glass to maximum effect. Each house is celebrated with awe-inspiring photographs that showcase the dynamic, light-filled living spaces that only glass can deliver.

The international selection includes early modernist houses from the 1930s, such as Philip Johnson’s Glass House and Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House, and glamorous mid-century LA villas like Pierre Koenig’s Case Study #22, alongside outstanding contemporary examples where new innovations have made even more daring glass structures possible. Featuring homes on six continents, copies of Glass Houses will be available for purchase and signing.

He is currently a contributing editor at Phaidon. Previously, Andrew was Design Critic in Architecture at Harvard University Graduate School of Design, visiting assistant professor at Pratt, visiting assistant professor at GSAPP at Columbia University, lecturer at the New York Institute of Technology’s School of Architecture, and architecture editor at Cultured Magazine.
