Yes, but only with a way to get some air in and out.
In my daughters student dormitory, the large corridor linking all the apartments on a level has such a glass wall. 100% closed, no way to air this out.

100% because it is a fire wall or regulations ask for it.
100% because it is a fire wall
I don't know what you're talking about, it would be hell to run cat6 through that. I'd definitely route around it and put the firewall in an adjacent room.
The wall material is so hard you'd think it was meant to stop an actual fire.
Hm I kinda always hated them.50-70s Austrian buildings used them a lot.
Huh I've never seen a wall of these and I'm old enough to remember the 70's. Glass block was something you replaced your old basement windows with
It must be a regional thing as we're probably about the same age. Growing up in CA, I frequently saw portions of walls made of these, especially in businesses and universities. One house by me had a cool turret staircase with alternating wall sections made of these glass bricks. There wasn't much privacy at night, although you could only make out vague shapes.
Eastern Europe used them tons
They're called glass brick or glass block, and you can still buy them, I just checked some local home improvement stores' websites, and they all had some in stock
And while we're at it, these yellow-lit interiors with brown tiles were pretty too.
I'm pretty sure the yellow and brown was just from all the indoor chain smoking
I like this look. It has this aura of beautiful golden light about it. It has that aura without going the full gaudy gilded look like you would find in something the president built.
That golden light would look great on my water bed and lava lamp collection.
Two things are better on a water bed... One of them is sleep
Have literally never heard a positive experience of fucking on a water bed. Can't imagine it would be enjoyable.
Now I want to try both things on a water bed
Sweet sweet 80s, you've come back! Glass blocks and waterbeds, here we come!
Eh. We can use some of the good things from the past without using the bad as well.
This looks horrible
My 50s house still has a glass brick window facing the driveway. It's a great silhouette backdrop, if I leave the workbench light on.
Very pretty.
Why is this a shitpost? It's nostalgia
Shitposts on Lemmy are basically just post whatever you want.
Sometimes it’s beans, sometimes it’s moth, sometimes it’s highly specific nostalgia. Also a lot of trans rights stuff (happy pride, btw).
When i look at this image all i hear is the Tetris theme
There's a Tetris theme?
Huh? Tetris has 1 song and one song only
And the best version is by Doctor Spin aka. Andrew Lloyd Webber. The guy who wrote the most famous songs in Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Evita, etc.
Type B would like to have a word with you, and Type C a steel Chair.
Yes Korobeniki
I always wanted to smash one of these walls with a sledge hammer. I bet it would be satisfying as fuck. Not because I hate them or anything, but because I grew up with games like KnockOut and Don't Break the Ice and these walls trigger my desire to smash out the blocks without destroying the whole wall.
Haha. I think I have seen these with a couple of windows smashed. Although something tells me they'd be quite hard to smash — like a CRT.
Those are my basement windows. Previous owners fucked me over if I want to let some air in my basement though.
It's not set up to be a giant Scrabble board. Disappointing.
You could defo play scrabble on it with one of those liquid chalk pens
When I looked at it I just had the uncontrollable urge to play Tetris.
Also, teraco as floor material. It cleans easily and it stupidly resistant to damage.
Someone watching jam2go???
jam2go appreciator spotted
This was also my first thought when I saw the post. His other effects are also really cool.
