Glass House is an experimental documentary that examines the creative process of a modern architect, Thomas Roszak, building a home made from glass and concrete for his family. The home is an experiment in form and function, transparency, livability and technology. The viewer emerges with a deeper understanding of architecture, construction and the rich contemporary possibilities of time, movement and light. The glass house, as seen through the lens, becomes a site of interpretation, reflection, family dynamics and the complex perspectives of a project that is not simply transparent. Yin composed the sound tracks and collaborated with composer Jason Roebke to create an original score for the video.
