glassed-in

With wall-to-wall windows that look out over the city — re-created on soundstages with the use of giant LED screens — and a glassed-in conference room at the heart of the floor, the environment itself suggests the possibility of omnipresent surveillance.

So there is an immediate thrill to seeing the mahogany-paneled control room and glassed-in sound booth that fill the Golden Theater stage, where “Stereophonic” opened on Friday.

At the rear of the gallery, two sculptures of multitiered shelving, each glassed-in and brightly illuminated from within by fluorescent lights, expand on the connection.

At the biosphere, I wonder which section of glassed-in trees I need to go through to get to the talk about how cave diving is like living on the moon.

In lieu of that metal door, Adjaye and his team have carved vestibules at the front and back, adding outdoor benches and a glassed-in storefront space that make what had been the ice plant’s mute brick facade along Bruckner Boulevard more welcoming, transparent and a public respite on the street.
