Synopsis:
Glass stands for openness and transparency. In contemporary glass architecture these associations are utilized in a subtle and highly intentional way. Some buildings appear low-key and reduced to express elegance and seriousness, other provide deep insights to set a stage for profiling and a vivid exchange between inside and outside. In either case innovative glass buildings generate unexpected perspectives, individual communication channels and a temporary feeling of freedom in an actually closed spatiality. In this title about 60 projects from all around the world will be presented with texts, photos as well as sketches and drawings.
From the Back Cover:
The importance of glass in the search of light and warmth throughout the history of architecture is unmatched. Today, glass still is and continues to be one of the most essential and versatile materials. In addition to its use for façade design, it is applied as a structural element, is able to present itself in the widest range of textures and colors and exhibits novel properties revealed by modern technology.
Using impressive photographs, drawings and sketches as well as informed texts, Clear Glass explores the timelessness and ceaseless fascination achieved by this translucent material. The book encompasses various architectural typologies and presents prestigious and innovative contemporary architectural projects from around the world.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Glas nimmt in der Architekturgeschichte eine unübertroffene Stellung bei der Suche nach Licht und Wärme ein. Und auch heute ist und bleibt Glas eines der wichtigsten und wandlungsfähigsten Materialen: Glas wird neben der Verwendung bei der Fassadengestaltung zu einem stützenden Konstruktionselement, präsentiert sich in den verschiedensten Texturen und Farbenspektren und offenbart neuartige Eigenschaften durch moderne Technologien. Clear Glass zeigt in beeindruckender Bildersprache und versierten Texten die stete Aktualität und unnachahmliche Faszination von Glas. Das Buch umfasst verschiedenste architektonische Register und präsentiert die prestigeträchtigsten und innovativsten Konstruktionen der zeitgenössischen Architektur weltweit. Aus dem Inhalt: London City Hall, Großbritannien (Foster & Partners) HA-LO Headquarters in Niles, IL, USA (Murphy / Jahn) Ponte de Lima Markt, Portugal (Guedes Cruz Arquitectos) Berliner Hauptbahnhof, Deutschland (gmp) TV Asahi in Tokyo, Japan (Maki and Associates); Glas steht sinnbildlich für Offenheit und Transparenz. Die zeitgenössische Glasarchitektur bedient sich dieser Assoziationen und setzt sie höchst bewusst in Szene. So gibt sie sich einmal betont zurückhaltend und kühl um Eleganz und Seriosität auszustrahlen, dann wiederum schafft sie tiefe Einblicke und das Gebäude wird zu einer Bühne der Selbstdarstellung sowie des Austausches von innen und außen. In jedem Fall aber entstehen durch innovative Glasbauten fast immer ungeahnte Perspektiven, individuelle Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten und ein zeitweiliges Gefühl von Freiheit im eigentlich doch geschlossenen Raum. Rund 60 Projekte aus aller Welt werden in diesem Band anhand von Texten, Plänen und Fotos präsentiert. Seller Inventory # 9783037680032
