Le verre occupe depuis toujours une place à part dans l'architecture grâce aux possibilités uniques qu'il offre pour la construction de bâtiments légers, ouverts et lumineux. Mais les formidables développements dont il a récemment fait l'objet ont suscité un tel engouement qu'il est devenu le matériau de prédilection des constructeurs. La nouvelle palette de possibilités présentée par ce matériau a fait naître une très forte demande d'informations de la part des architectes et planificateurs. C'est pour répondre à leurs besoins que cet ouvrage a été conçu. Il traite de manière exhaustive des diverses possibilités créatives et constructives offertes par le verre, des propriétés et des aspects physiques de ce matériau comme de son comportement sous différentes sollicitations. Il consacre une large place aux possibilités d'économie d'énergie réalisables par une utilisation appropriée du verre ainsi qu'un vaste éventail de détails sur les techniques de fixation et de construction. Un ouvrage qui simposera comme la référence en la matière. La première partie de ce livre se divise en 2 parties, tout d'abord il retrace le parcours du verre des origines au modernisme, ensuite il situe l'importance du matériau dans la seconde moitié du 20 e siècle. La deuxième partie étudie les principes du verre comme matériau de construction et ses relations avec les différentes énergies. la troisième partie développe les détails de construction. Et la quatrième partie montre son application au travers d'exemples choisis de réalisations architecturales.

Flat glass opens up more possibilities for the planner than virtually any other material. Because of the technological complexity of using it, however, no specific structural forms have been developed for glass supporting frameworks as they have been for wood, concrete, and steel. This book is thus the first to present a coherent guide to the planning and design of glass supporting frameworks. The focus is on the pressure-resistant, flat supporting element as a basic building block for broad supporting structures. The spatial and constructive forms of multifunctional, self-supporting glass envelopes are vividly illustrated and systematically explained. The constructions presented exhibit new aesthetic qualities, based not on the dictum of "dematerialization" but on the poetry of gleaming and transparent planes. They ring in a new chapter in the history of glass architecture. Kaum ein anderes Material eröffnet dem Planer so viele Möglichkeiten wie Flachglas. Durch die technologische Komplexität des Baustoffs in der Anwendung wurden jedoch bisher im Gegensatz zum Beton-, Stahl- oder Holzbau keine spezifischen Strukturformen für Glastragwerke entwickelt und ausgeführt. Mit diesem Buch wird somit erstmals eine zusammenhängende Anleitung zum Planen und Gestalten von Glastragwerken vorgelegt. Im Zentrum steht dabei das druckfeste, flächige Tragelement als Grundbaustein für weit gespannte Tragstrukturen. Dabei werden die Entwurfsparameter für Raum- und Konstruktionsformen multifunktionaler, selbsttragender Glashüllen systematisch und anschaulich erklärt. Die präsentierten Konstruktionen zeigen neue ästhetische Qualitäten auf, die nicht auf dem Diktum der "Entmaterialisierung", sondern auf der Poesie leuchtender, durchscheinender Flächen beruhen und somit ein neues Kapitel in der Glasarchitektur einläuten.

Until recently, much of the development of building materials has predominantly focused on producing cheaper, stronger and more durable construction materials. More recently attention has been given to the environmental issues in manufacturing, using, disposing and recycling of construction materials. Sustainability of construction materials brings together a wealth of recent research on the subject.The first part of the book gives a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the sustainability of the following building materials: aggregates; timber, wood and bamboo; vegetable fibres; maso
