Şişecam continues to create value for the architecture and construction sectors with its Reference Projects Book, the outcome of a meticulous study covering a broad global geography. “Şişecam Inspiring Projects – Architectural Design 2026” stands out as a significant milestone in the series, further reinforcing Şişecam’s strong position as a global reference point in architecture.
Today, glass selection in architecture has evolved into a critical design decision that goes far beyond its visual impact on façades, encompassing numerous technical and environmental parameters such as solar and thermal control, safety and security, controlled daylight transmission, glare management and acoustic performance. Key factors such as building type, façade glass ratio, climate conditions, façade orientation and compatibility with mechanical systems all play a crucial role in determining glass performance.
Through its dedicated glass consultancy services for architectural projects, Şişecam approaches glass selection from a multi-dimensional perspective, considering aesthetics, performance and sustainability criteria. The Reference Projects Book Series, meanwhile, aims to contribute to more informed, comparable and efficient glass selection processes in new projects by bringing together contemporary architectural façade and interior applications within a single resource.
As the most comprehensive reference work prepared with Şişecam flat glass products, “Şişecam Inspiring Projects – Architectural Design 2026” features a total of 184 projects utilising 37 different products. Among these, 46 are global projects, 151 are architectural applications, and 33 are interior projects.
The publication includes 38 different project types and showcases implementations by 44 authorised manufacturers. Projects selected from Türkiye and international markets underline Şişecam’s strong global footprint in the project segment, while comprehensively presenting the value-added flat glass product portfolio preferred in these applications.
With the inclusion of decorative glass solutions, the book also highlights Şişecam’s strength in the interior segment, emphasising that glass is not only a façade solution but also a key design element that enhances aesthetic, functional and spatial quality in interior spaces.
Accessible via the Şişecam website, “Şişecam Inspiring Projects – Architectural Design 2026,” the fourth book of the Reference Projects Series, is positioned not only as a reference source for architects, designers, and construction professionals, but also as an inspiring publication that highlights the role of glass in architecture.
