GPI is already working on its first program partnership, which it hopes to launch before the end of this year. “It’s not going to be the kind of thing where we say, ‘Hey, here’s a pot of money, and anybody who wants to apply should do that.’” Many bottle bill states are on the West Coast and in the Northeast, so those areas have a decent supply of clean glass. Both industry groups and private businesses have launched or expanded [specialty collection or drop-off programs](https://www.wastedive.com/news/glass-recycling-revival-local-grassroots-ripple-oi-gpi/617004/) for glass in recent years, many of which originate at the local level, to help fill the gap. “A lot of MRFs don't even have any basic glass cleaning equipment in the first place. - The program will provide upfront funding for equipment purchases a MRF can repay over time with the revenue it generates from selling additional glass throughput.

7 West 57th features an oblique glass facade (The Architect's Newspaper)

Hill West Architects has designed a residential building along Manhattan's Billionaire's Row with a slanted glass facade.

Hill West utilized channel glass as a rainscreen on the west facade, which is visible as it protrudes from its border with neighboring 9 West 57th. Workers notched the slab in order to keep “both glass surfaces in plane with each other,” which Klimathianos said was a standard design solution. West told AN that they wanted the building to “stand on its own in terms of materiality,” particularly amid an array of limestone and more traditional glass buildings on 57th Street. The careful installation process involved maintaining uniformity in the lighting, particularly “in its fall-off from tier to tier” and working with an uneven concrete substrate wall. It is characterized by its all- [glass](/tag/glass/) front—save the mechanical level—and setbacks typical of Manhattan zoning regulations. When entering the rooftop, only a glimpse of the park is available through a passageway, inviting guests to the north side, where they are greeted by a full view of the park. The intent, as stated in a press release, is a building that “will offer a more discreet, luxurious living experience for residents who crave the convenience and glamor of Fifth Avenue, but value privacy and functionality in a serene and warm setting.” Still feeding the luxury market, [Hill West](/tag/hill-west/)’s 7 West 57th seeks to intervene on the famed street in a more subtle way. Rather than simply continuing with perpendicular windows up the entire facade, the oblique angled windows remind residents on upper floors of the structure’s changing form. The windows were angled back as well; residents are exposed to the buildings changing angles and shape from the interior within a still-neat design. [Gordon Bunshaft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Bunshaft) at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill—was in concert with the grand 18 floor slope of Bunshaft’s facade. [supertalls](/tag/supertall/), [Manhattan](/tag/manhattan/)’s 57th Street, dubbed Billionaire’s Row, encounters developers and architects vying to preserve the sweeping views of Central Park, as towers are built one by one alongside one another.

Glass “House”: Philip's “Fall” in Lincoln Hall | Oregon ArtsWatch (Oregon ArtsWatch)

OrpheusPDX artistic director Christopher Mattaliano could have followed a similar course. After parting ways in 2019 with Portland Opera, which he led as ...

From an audience perspective, the feeling of being in the midst of the action, up close and intimate with the characters, more than makes up for lack of grandeur — or grandiosity — you can only get in a big opera house or, in Portland’s case, unreasonable facsimile thereof. “The man has an innate sense of pacing and theater,” Mattaliano muses. He was on the directing staff of New York City Opera in 1983 when the company gave the city premiere of Glass’s Akhnaten, part of the famed early trilogy that rocketed the composer to pre-eminence among contemporary opera composers. Mattaliano hopes to achieve the unparalleled audience connection and intensity of Portland Opera’s compelling recitals featuring only a singer and (usually) piano. Producing in a smaller, less expensive venue allows OrpheusPDX to stage chamber operas that require only a fraction of the musicians (most locally based) and other expenses of grand opera classics. His many years in the profession and at Portland Opera positioned Mattaliano to create a new company. “Is the story real, or is it a hallucination? The new company fills a needed niche in Portland’s classical music scene, and offers Mattaliano a chance to create a new model for an arts form that needs a fresh approach. The summer season also avoids competition with his old company, while Mattaliano said OrpheusPDX’s access to national talent for solo roles distinguishes it from smaller “rough and ready” local companies like Opera Theater Oregon and Renegade Opera ( There’s not a bad seat in the house.” “No one loves Puccini and Verdi more than I do, but to do [those classics] well and financially successfully, you have to do them in a 2,000-3,000 seat hall,” he explained. [As ArtsWatch first reported](https://www.orartswatch.org/music-news-notes-festival-follies-fab-females-and-more/), the company will produce two chamber operas each season, and, he hopes, create a training program for rising young opera stars.

Glass-Like Solar Façade Will Exceed Building's Electricity Needs (Intelligent Living)

The eight-story building, 550 Spencer, will use a solar facade comprising 1182 solar panels to generate more electricity than it needs.

The firm constructed a copy of the facade with assistance from To put it into perspective, it is comparable to between 3 and 6 kWp on a typical solar panel setup for a house. The project involves an eight-story office building, dubbed 550 Spencer, which will use a cutting-edge solar facade tech comprising 1,182 solar panels to generate more electricity than it needs. The solar facade technology faced yet another challenge: it lacked an Australian building safety certificate. However, since no panels were available locally, the Australian company had to go to tremendous lengths to make it happen, hiring the German company [Avancis](https://www.avancis.de/en/products/#skala) to supply them. We mapped the solar performance from different facade alterations optimizing the electricity production.”
