Glass monument

The glass monument is one of the more unique special buildings. Unlike most others listed here, which are real, historic buildings found in specific parts of the world, the glass monument is much more malleable. It can be built anywhere in the world and adds to your existing construction sites rather than picking up one. So how do you do it?
