Glass is a popular cladding material for modern buildings. The trend for steel-framed, glass-clad buildings instead of those using traditional materials such as brick and concrete has inherent problems. These include, for example, the performance of architectural glass in extreme climatic events such as windstorms and heavy snow loads and also during earthquakes. This book reviews the state-of-the-art in glass and glazing technology to resist failure due to these natural events.Building code seismic requirements for architectural glass in the United States are considered first of all,

Drawing on a number of modern and heritage design projects from Europe, the USA, the Middle East and South East Asia, this book examines the role of 'glass architecture' in the economic and social development of regional towns and local places. The book argues that adopting a more 'global' aesthetic can lead to the destruction of a place's cohesive identity and a discontinuity of heritage with little or no social or economic gain.

There are two things everybody knows about glass: it is transparent, and it breaks! These are also the properties that constitute the challenge of glass as an architectural and structural material.This book presents papers from the third Challenging Glass Conference (CGC3), held at the Technical University (TU) Delft, the Netherlands, in June 2012. The conference brings together glass engineering, research and design specialists. Papers are grouped under seven topic headings: project and case studies; joints, fixings and adhesives; strength, stability and safety (a category which includes a quarter of all the papers presented at the conference); laminates and composite design; curved and bended glass; architectural design and lighting and finally, glass in facades.Glass remains one of the most exciting materials available to designers and architects today. This book will be of interest to all those involved in working with glass in an architectural and structural context.

Dieses Buch entdeckt neu die Schönheit der Eisen- und Glasbauten des 19. Jahrhunderts - eine Architektur von hohem ästhetischen Reiz, die Bagger und Sprengstoff immer mehr zu vernichten drohen. Fotos von der Sprengung der berühmten Pariser Markthallen erschienen in der gesamten Weltpresse. Zahlreiche der in diesem Buch abgebildeten Bauten wurden während der mehrjährigen Bearbeitungszeit des Buches bereits abgerissen. Dadurch gewinnt das hier wiedergegebene Bildmaterial großen dokumentarischen Wert. Das Buch begnügt sich jedoch nicht mit einer bloßen Dokumentation, vielmehr analysieren die Autorinnen die den Eisen- und Glaskonstruktionen des 19. Jahrhunderts zugrundeliegende Bauidee. Die Frage nach den gesellschaftlichen und technischen Bedingungen für Bauten aus Eisen und Glas führt zu einer Untersuchung der Herkunft unserer gegenwärtigen Wertskalen, die im 19. Jahrhundert wurzeln und deren Ideen im zeitgenössischen Planen und Bauen wieder zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen.
