„Glass in Building“ reveals a wide array of design possibilities for architects. Traditionally viewed as a translucent element for enclosing spaces, glass has much broader applications. It not only protects against external factors like noise and fire but can also serve load-bearing functions despite its fragility. When combined with various finishing methods, materials, and coatings, glass meets stringent structural and physical standards. This resource provides a concise and illustrated overview of the appropriate use of glass in construction, offering in-depth insights into designing with glass, producing specialized glass products, and understanding the building regulations relevant to glass construction. Additionally, it features a selection of exemplary projects that illustrate the theoretical concepts presented. The book emphasizes the fascinating opportunities that glass presents for architects, showcasing its versatility and potential in modern building design.
