glass towers
Transparent urban monoliths
Glass towers are modern high-rise buildings with exterior walls made largely of glass, common in urban financial districts and corporate headquarters.
The phrase often carries critical connotations—suggesting cold, impersonal architecture or the isolation of wealthy elites from ordinary life: Executives in their glass towers have no idea what workers face.
The image evokes both literal transparency and metaphorical detachment.
