Think about it, besides the obvious potential for putting a wall out with that thing there is the nonexistent expectation of privacy. Throwing a stone is like airing your dirty laundry. You really don\u2019t want the world to see you at your worst behavior.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of glass houses.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t confuse me with a green house. I am a living area for humans. Notably Mr. J who had me built.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The glass house designed by Philip Johnson has been called one of the world&#8217;s most beautiful and yet least functional homes. Johnson did not envision it as a place to live so much as a stage&#8230; and a statement. The house is often cited as a model example of theInternational Style.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A least functional home they called me.<\/p>\n<p>All the world is a stage I\u2019ve heard but I was a am a show off piece.

Mies believed that a skyscraper&#8217;s structure should be visible, so the architects used decorative bronze beams to accentuate the structure and to emphasize the height of the Seagram Building.<br \/>\nAt the base of the Seagram Building is a two-story high glass-enclosed lobby.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe Seagram building couldn\u2019t be here today. He was designed by Miles van der Rohe and Mr. J. A very expensive sky scraper and the bottom two floors were made of glass.<\/p>\n<p>It is a great study for architect students and hobbyists. You can see the bones of a building what holds it up, what holds it in. No secrets are left in a glass structure except maybe the restrooms. The last best place for privacy in a post 9 11 world. As far as I know, there are still no cameras in a rest room. If there are, I am sure you don\u2019t want to know about it anymore than I do.<\/p>\n<p>I think Johnson\u2019s most viewed building is the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove California. It was built in 1980 and is the site of a mega church. Seen on Sundays on teleivison.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2509\" style=\"width: 280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sallyfranklinchristie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/280px-Crys-ext.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2509\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/sallyfranklinchristie.com\/wp\/people-who-live-in-glass-houses-fiction-friday\/280px-crys-ext\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sallyfranklinchristie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/280px-Crys-ext.jpg?fit=280%2C210\" data-orig-size=\"280,210\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"280px-Crys-ext\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Crystal Hour of Power Building&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sallyfranklinchristie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/280px-Crys-ext.jpg?fit=280%2C210\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2509\" title=\"280px-Crys-ext\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sallyfranklinchristie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/280px-Crys-ext.jpg?resize=280%2C210\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sallyfranklinchristie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/280px-Crys-ext.jpg?w=280 280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sallyfranklinchristie.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/280px-Crys-ext.jpg?resize=150%2C112 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crystal Hour of Power Building<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;Located in Garden Grove, California, the Crystal Cathedral is the home base for the international Crystal Cathedral Ministries, including a congregation of over 10,000 members and the internationally televised &#8220;Hour of Power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Robert H. Schuller said, &#8220;When the local congregation reached 10,000 and we needed a bigger church building, I remembered how wonderful it had been at my little drive-in church (where the ministry began in 1955) where there had been no walls or ceiling-it was there I fell in love with the sky! And that&#8217;s why we built the Crystal Cathedral with walls and a roof of glass-crystal-clear glass that lets the sun and sky sparkle through our wonderful sanctuary.&#8221;&#8221;<br \/>\nOn September 14, 1980, in Garden Grove, Calif., Dr. Robert Schuller dedicated the Crystal Cathedral &#8220;To the Glory of Man for the Greater Glory of God.&#8221;<br \/>\nIt was the crowning achievement of Mr. J\u2019s career. And it couldn\u2019t be here today. It is just to difficult to move it around or cause it to appear.<\/p>\n<p>I am the representative of glass houses.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose you shouldn\u2019t throw stones into me either. There is a certain frailty to being made of glass. Glass is a liquid. Did you know that? If I were not eventually taken down by a hail storm or earth quake I would puddle down succumbing to gravity and my atomic structure.<\/p>\n<p>A liquid can change its form and structure but not its space. Or some crazy thing like that.<\/p>\n<p>We break we can be recycled, when break, we melt. I do not think we vaporize. I am really sure I am not a gas. Some day if I am here long enough I will puddle.<\/p>\n<p>If tours were shut down and a family was allowed to live inside me I imagine they would know the feeling of living in a fish bowl.<\/p>\n<p>They would know what a pet store finch feels like in its glass container.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose I make a statement of some sort, not just the warning not to throw stones.<\/p>\n<p>I am called one of the most least functional homes anywhere. I suppose I am a reflection of an everyday family then, dysfunctional and all. I never thought about that before now.<\/p>\n<p>While I might not be all the efficient I do offer an ever changing view from my walls. I can be incredibly warm and horribly drafty.
