They have distinguished themselves in architecture and technical solutions. The envelope structures giving spatial interiors were arising very quickly. They have been enabling large light penetration, triggering them extremely bright. Thus these building were perfect for plant breeding and also to be used as the exhibition space. Ease of installation of lightweight glass and metal structures, and simultaneously their inimitable functional values caused an increase in interest of that technology. It started being used to other purposes, like passages, department stores, libraries and railway stations. The article is an analysis of adopted solutions of these structures in 19th century architecture.
