New giraffes house and paddock

It's interesting to see the increasing use of glass barriers in giraffe houses. Prague and Dresden also use this in their new buildings and I think it is also used in the much older building in Antwerp, does anyone know of any others?
 
Are there any hot wires to prevent giraffes from approaching the glass?
Males can kick it, or bash with head. Even the strongest triplex may eventually give a crack.
 
If you can keep elephants behind safe glass these days, I bet it is safe around giraffes anyway.
 
Tank wall doesn't count.
Is there a zoo where elephants can be viewed through glass that they have complete access to, no bars or hotwires?
 
Halle in Germany. In the house and at the start of the outdoor enclosure on the right side.

Again, there are just large windows that don't reach the floor level.

I remember seeing a pic of SW rhino exhibit with complete glass fence, probably in somewhat German zoo.
 
Frankfurt I think have a glass viewing area for black rhino. And am I correct in thinking that Vienna have glass windows inside the elephant house? Although there might be another barrier.
