Twisting VS1-A envelope; cold-bent glass
The new QA Tower in Dhaka, Bangladesh features warped glass panels that together achieve a remarkable twisting effect. The 11'8" by 3'11" panels are cold bent so that one corner is 5.3" off-plane from the other three. The floor-to-floor rotation is 6.6 degrees, and the ground-to-roof rotation is nearly 90 degrees.
