Abstract: A mosaic-style design aerogel window system having two panes of translucent material assembled parallel to each other in a frame to form a window panel is disclosed. A variety of aerogel monoliths of various colors are assembled in a layer between the two panes of translucent material such that edges of adjacent aerogel monoliths mate with each other. Aerogel monoliths are prepared from a plurality of cut or molded shapes of aerogel monoliths, each having at least one dimension of ¼ inch or greater. At least some of the plurality of aerogel monoliths have dyes or salts incorporated into a precursor recipe to impart color to the colored aerogel monoliths.
