Glass in Building opens up a whole range of fascinating design possibilities for the planning architect. Glass has long served as a translucent room closing element, but its range of possible uses is actually much wider. It not only offers protection against the external world, for example, noise or fire; despite its apparent fragility, it can even take on load-bearing functions in supporting structures. In combination with various different finishing methods, materials, and coatings, it also satisfies exacting structural-physical standards. Glass in Building offers a clear, compact, and illustrated overview of the material-appropriate use of this varied and versatile material in building construction and provides information that goes far beyond the basics on designing with glass and producing and using specialized glass products, as well as on the building and planning regulations that must be taken into account when constructing with glass. A selection of exemplary realized projects rounds out the theoretical section.

Opening with an exploration of the overarching philosophy of repair, this volume focuses on the nature and range of glass used in historic buildings. It looks at the deterioration, examination, repair and preservation of architectural glass, from leaded windows to modern plate-glass cladding.

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.

The author ... one of the leading figures of the Dutch engineering office ABT, describes with great expertise designs, concepts and realized projects, in which glass elements fulfil crucial architectural tasks. In the advanced architecture of today the use of this transparent material goes well beyond self-supporting functions and comprises structural parts such as columns, walls, floors and roofs. One of the characteristic material properties of glass, to break suddenly and completely under certain conditions, seems only at first glance incompatible with the static responsibilities of structural elements; each of the construction achievements presented demonstrates how the engineer is challenged every time again to refute that assumption. The various creative solutions, arrived at in close cooperation with some of the most interesting architects of the present, are carefully documented by a multitude of construction drawings, sketches and photographs.
