Description

Explore the intersection of science and design in Through the Healing Glass: Shaping the Modern Body through Glass Architecture, 1925-35. This Routledge Research in Architecture title examines how a physiologist, a glass chemist, and a zoo collaborated to transform buildings into medical instruments. Learn how the advanced chemistry of "Vita" Glass integrated theories of light, medicine, and health practices with glassmaking technology. The book details how Pilkington Bros. utilized leading-edge market research and a sophisticated marketing campaign to communicate the benefits of this technology. It provides a deep look at how an entire epoch's hopes for a healthy life were compressed into a single glass sheet, fundamentally changing the relationship between architecture and human health during a transformative decade.
