The Niemeyer Sphere – one of the final designs of renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer – has opened in Germany. Key to realizing his vision was our eyrise liquid crystal dynamic glass technology.
Renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer was hailed as a great artist and one of the greatest architects of his generation. In 2020, what’s believed to be one of his final designs was inaugurated in Leipzig, Germany.
Known as the Niemeyer Sphere, this stunning building is based on a sketch drawn by Niemeyer in 2011, at the age of 104. The sketches were further developed by his assistant Jair Valera, with the project then executed by Harald Kern architects.

The established limit ensures that all North American flat glass manufacturers have the opportunity to supply glass products to government works projects in California.
NGA’s Advocacy and Forming Committees were successful in their recommendations to the California Department of General Services (DGS) to set the maximum acceptable global warming potential (GWP) limit for flat glass and other materials covered under CA AB262.
On January 1, the GWP limit was set by the California DGS at 1.72E+03 kg CO2-eq for flat glass. This limit matches the request made by NGA’s Advocacy and Forming Committees for 20% above the industry-wide flat glass GWP.
