The book "Glass Architecture" (1914) by the "first expressionist," Paul Scheerbart (1863–1915), is one of the key manifestos of the European avant-garde. The work had a significant influence on architects, the theory and practice of the Bauhaus, and the constructivist movement. Scheerbart connects the birth of the human being of the future with an architectural revolution that will destroy the crude material "culture of brick" and replace it with a liberating "culture of glass." Filling the text with humor and irony, the author remains precise not only in technical aspects—issues of lighting, sound and thermal insulation, interior design—but also in his vision of the appearance of modern cities. Transparent architecture, according to Scheerbart, should change human existence at all levels, transform the surface of the planet, and open the way for us to fully participate in the life of the cosmos.
