Engineered transparency
the technical, visual, and spatial effects of glass
by Michael Bell
"After its role in the last century's call to a radical new architecture for urban life, glass has emerged as a culturally accepted material in architecture and construction. Offering novel modes of visual pleasure and spatial experience, glass has been the beneficiary of major technical advances that are decidedly less visible. Structural innovations, engineering at the level of optics, enhanced thermal properties, and expanded fabrication and installation limits have dramatically reconfigured the extent and reach of glass applications. This publication brings together an extraordinary group architects, engineers, manufacturers, and scholars to collectively reconsider our never-ending fascination with glass and to bring this revolutionary material back before our eyes."--Jacket.
