Synopsis
The curtain wall, a non-bearing wall attached to a building's structural frame, is a key concept and an indispensable feature of contemporary architecture. Now the development of elastomers has even made facades of pure glass feasible. 20 exemplary facades by Cesar Pelli & Associates are presented in this book, arranged by material - glass, metal, stone. The conception and development of each individual facade solution is unfolded and construction details comprehensively documented in numerous drawings. Examples include the Nakanoshima Mitsui Tower (Osaka), Cheung Kong Center (Hong Kong), BankBoston (Buenos Aires), Mori Tower (Tokyo), Heron Quay 3 (London) and 731 Lexington - Bloomberg Tower (New York). Michael J. Crosbie is an architect, former editor of Progressive Architecture, a regular contributor to Domus, Architectural Record and Landscape Architecture, and author of numerous publications on architecture.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Die Vorhangfassade - eine nichttragende Wand, die dem Gerst eines Skelettbaus als Verkleidung vorgehngt wird - ist aus dem Vokabular der modernen Architektur nicht wegzudenken. Die Entwicklung der Elastomere hat das Traggerst stark reduziert und die Voraussetzung fr rein glserne Hllen geschaffen. In diesem Buch werden etwa zwanzig beispielhafte Fassadenlsungen des Bros Cesar Pelli & Associates dokumentiert. Nach den verschiedenen Fassadenmaterialien - Glas, Metall, Stein - geordnet, werden die jeweiligen Konstruktionsdetails ausfhrlich und mit vielen Zeichnungen dargestellt. Beleuchtet wird auch der Entwicklungsprozess der jeweiligen Fassadenlsung, die meist sehr individualisiert ist in Entwurf ebenso wie in Fertigung. Zu den dokumentierten Bauten gehren der Nakanoshima Mitsui Tower in Osaka, das Cheung Kong Center in Hongkong, die BankBoston in Buenos Aires, der Mori Tower in Tokio, Heron Quay 3 in London oder das Gebude 731 Lexington Avenue in New York.Michael J. Crosbie ist Architekt und hat zahlreiche Bcher ber Architektur geschrieben. Frher Redakteur der Architekturzeitschrift Progressive Architecture, schreibt er heute regelmig fr Zeitschriften wie Domus, Architectural Record und Landscape Architecture.
