Taking Over the World: The Glass Floor Effect

The enthralling details and glass designs at Harpa Concert Hall continue to inspire.

What if we convert the glass window panels into glass floor?

I manipulated this image by cloning and rearranging the glass panels to create transparent, angular floorings and an all over glass effect. 

Modern Architecture: The Glass Stairs Effect

Stunning interior design and architecture can be found at the Harpa Concert Hall. The glass window panels give a modern, abstract, and futuristic twist to the scene.

I decided to manipulate the image by flipping it around and altering the position. All of the cool angles turn this into silver, shiny glass stairs (so why not just walk on it?)
