Description

Explore the intersection of architecture, medicine, and chemistry in Through the Healing Glass. This Routledge Research in Architecture volume examines a unique period between 1925 and 1935 when buildings were envisioned as medical instruments. The book follows the development of Vita Glass, a product born from the collaboration of a physiologist, a glass chemist, and a zoo. Learn how advanced glassmaking technology and theories of light were used to address health practices and the pursuit of a healthy life. The text details how Pilkington Bros. utilized sophisticated marketing and market research to promote these technological advancements. This work provides a deep look into how a single sheet of glass could represent the scientific hopes of an entire era, changing how we perceive the relationship between the built environment and human health.
