People who live in glass houses...

I found an article about an 'all-glass' residential building to be built in Dublin in today's ArchNewsNow.com update. (I'll print part of it below.)
I wouldn't want to live in it, I am both messy and fairly privacy oriented.
How about you?

Living in a glass house would be an incentive to keep myself fit and trim.

They can put restrictions on tenants all they like - in 5 years the place will be an eyesore with crap piled up within the tenants units. Right now it sounds "yay, look at me, I have no inhibitions, watch me, watch me!" but after a few years there's no-one on their best behavior and cleaning cleaning making it look beeyootiful all the time (I'm talking inside the tenants units). People cannot keep that up and if I know the Irish, good luck to anyone trying to force people to keep posters, paintings, and other stuff off their see-through walls.

How could you take a crap with everyone looking at you?

Or have sex?

Or pick your nose?

Or scratch your butt?

Or masturbate?

Or all those little disgusting things people do when they are alone....

Somehow I suspect there are inner walls, that it is just the "skin" of the building that is primarily glass...

As humans, we HAVE to look. Come on. Who really wants to look at an accident....no, we HAVE to look at the accident. :wink:

Loving the sun, we have large windows anyhow. But, wide open walls? Why that, when stucco walls are so noise-proof. Doesn't sound the best of investment, plus I like to live close to the ground. But, I'd love to visit! And laugh, and look, in beautiful Ireland.

No, no, no and...no.

You kiddin' me? I get paranoid because there are no blinds behind my curtains! I'd go insane, literally, if I lived in anything near translucent. Even being, for a short period of time, in the presence of open windows makes me nervious... I'd begin living in the elevator.
