    The paper is focusing on glass, used as a component of nonlinear shaping of envelopes in the architecture of the 21st century. Buildings with curvilinear geometry force new relationships between geometry and materials then it was before. The curvilinear, glazed envelopes are a new technical challenge. The paper deals with the rationalization strategies for curvilinear glazed surfaces using the flat and bend glass panels. The work incorporates several examples, including: British Museum Great Court (1998-2000), Golden Terraces (2000-2007) and Strasbourg Train Station Extension (2006-2007).
