We are in the process of constructing a 32-story building with glass at all 4 sides. It’s the headquarters of our company.

    Dear Bhavesh Mehta,
    I certainly hope your 32-story all-glass skyscraper has an architect and an engineering team! Please don't take advice from anyone on this site when it comes to developing your specifications.
