架构师提供的文本描述。垂直玻璃屋是由容浩场设计，作为参加年度新干线住宅设计比赛，由日本建筑师杂志于1991年举办。张先生因这个项目获得了荣誉奖。22年后的2013年，上海的西外滩建筑与当代艺术双年展决定将其作为永久展馆之一。

Text description provided by the architects. Vertical Glass House was designed by Yung Ho Chang as an entry to the annual Shinkenchiku Residential Design Competition organized by the Japan Architect magazine in 1991. Chang received an Honorable Mention award for the project. Twenty-two years later in 2013, the West Bund Biennale of Architecture and Contemporary Art in Shanghai decided to build it as one of its permanent pavilions.

立式玻璃屋是城市住宅的原型，它讨论了垂直透明的概念，同时作为现代主义水平透明度的批评家，或者总是对景观开放且不提供任何隐私的玻璃房屋。当把经典的玻璃房子翻到90度的时候，垂直玻璃屋一方面是精神的：封闭的墙壁和透明的地板以及屋顶，房子向天空和地球敞开，把居民安置在中间，创造一个冥想的地方。另一方面，垂直玻璃屋是一种材料：垂直透明在视觉上将所有不同层次的公用设施、管道工程、家俱以及楼梯连接在一起，形成家庭生活系统，并提供了对“建筑作为生活机器”的现代理论的另一种解读。

Vertical Glass House is a urban housing prototype and discusses the notion of transparency in verticality while serving as a critic of Modernist transparency in horizontality or a glass house that always opens to landscape and provides no privacy. While turning the classic glass house 90 degrees, Vertical Glass House is on one hand spiritual: With enclosed walls and transparent floors as well as roof, the house opens to the sky and the earth, positions the inhabitant right in the middle, and creates a place for meditation. On the other hand, Vertical Glass House is material: Vertical transparency visually connects all the utilities,ductworks, furniture pieces on different levels, as well as the staircase, into a system of domesticity and provides another reading of the modern theory of “Architecture as living machine.”

2013年在上海建造的这座建筑，是以张22年前的设计方案为基础，由Atelier FCJZ公司开发的。占地面积不到40平方米的四层住宅被坚固的混凝土墙围住，与周围的周围几乎没有视觉联系。墙壁在外面用粗糙的木模浇铸，在内部用光滑的木板铸成，使表面从内到外的纹理形成反差。在混凝土围护结构中，中心是一根单一的钢柱，钢梁将空间分成几个部分，并将每一个住宅活动与混凝土墙分开。垂直玻璃屋的所有楼板，由7厘米厚的复合钢化玻璃板组成，悬臂在混凝土外壳之外，通过立面上的水平条。每个玻璃板的周边都是从房子里点亮的，因此，夜间光线通过玻璃传递给路过的行人一种神秘的感觉。所有的家具都是专门为垂直玻璃屋内的房间设计的，使其符合最初的设计理念，并与其结构和楼梯保持和谐的外观。房子里增加了空调。

The structure erected in Shanghai in 2013 was closely based on the 22-years old design scheme by Chang and developed by the Atelier FCJZ. With a footprint of less than 40 square meters, the 4-story residence is enclosed with solid concrete walls leaving little visual connection to its immediate surrounding. The walls were cast in rough wooden formwork on the exterior and smooth boards on the interior to give a contrast in texture in surface from the inside out. Within the concrete enclosure, a singular steel post is at the center with steel beams divide the space in quarters and frame each domestic activity along with the concrete walls. All the floor slabs for the Vertical Glass House, which consists of 7cm thick composite tempered glass slabs, cantilevers beyond the concrete shell through the horizontal slivers on the façade. The perimeter of each glass slab is lit from within the house; therefore, light transmits through the glass at night to give a sense of mystic for the pedestrians passing by. All the furniture were designed specifically for the rooms inside the Vertical Glass House to be true to the original design concept and keep a cohere appearance with its structures and stairs. Air conditioning was added to the House.

垂直玻璃屋将由西外滩双年展经营，作为参观艺术家和建筑师的一间客房，同时也是一个建筑展览。

The Vertical Glass House will be operated by the West Bund Biennale as a one-room guest house for visiting artists and architects while serving as an architectural exhibition.
