They say people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, but what if the house in question were half-buried in the ground and shaped like a giant blue egg?
I bought the IKEA HÄRLIGA glass dome for some time ago to build a fantasy MOC for my new work office. But I’ve had a Builder's Block (Writer's block) for a while now.

In Tianshui, China, a clear dome casts sunlight onto 483 polychromatic glass panels lining a kindergarten’s windows, railings, and doorways. It gives the spacious building a kaleidoscopic effect, refracting varying hues onto the white walls and minimalist wood furnishings. “Color shades can grow and shrink as colors overlap and become different colors, or move from a vertical plane to a horizontal plane and back again,” architect Keiichiro Sako wrote on Instagram.
