For generations, homeowners have clearly thought of windows when they heard the term glazing. Single, double and in the meantime also three or four times glazed windows - the properties of the glass however have changed dramatically. Noise and temperature insulation are features and also - if desired - opacity just by pressing a button. Now glass is increasingly becoming a facade, as a solar panel, as insulation or as a photovoltaic system. For Architects this development is really fantastic.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) reported today that 2010 continued the trend of declining national vehicle thefts for the seventh consecutive year. While the top five hot spots for 2010 showed an increase in thefts over the previous year, the other areas on the top 10 list actually had fewer thefts.
NICB’s Hot Spots report examines vehicle theft data obtained from the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) for each of the nation’s MSAs. MSAs are designated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and often include areas much larger than the cities for which they are named. For example, the Fresno, Calif., MSA includes all thefts within the entire county of Fresno, not just the city of Fresno.
