Description

Explore the complex relationship between material, culture, and technology in modern design. This book by Routledge examines the use of glass through close observations of six specific architectural works. Written from the perspective of a practitioner, the text challenges common assumptions regarding the fragility and visual transparency of glass. While glass is often associated with idealism and utopic visions, it presents real technical challenges, including thermal control and structural fragility. This work looks at how recent technological advancements have changed the way architects use this material. It is an essential resource for those studying the theory and practice of contemporary architecture and the evolving role of transparent materials in the built environment.
