glass tower
Reflective urban spire
A glass tower is a tall building with an exterior primarily of glass, typical of modern corporate architecture.
The phrase often carries connotations of sleek but impersonal spaces—the domain of executives and professionals detached from ordinary life: From his glass tower on Wall Street, he had no idea how regular people lived.
Related to ivory tower, but emphasizing corporate rather than academic isolation.
