Many buildings are made with standard or system products. However, a whole new world opens up when the architect, in line with his or her design, designs parts that specifically match the architectural expression of the building. The hidden possibilities of glass are a great source of inspiration for this. This book covers product development - Design & Build - in glass facades, glass roofs and even applications of cold bent and cold turned double laminated glass.0Based on many examples realized in the Netherlands and abroad, Mick Eekhout shows how to design new glass components and develop them step by step from wild ideas to certified building components that enhance the specific character of the building. Mick Eekhout is professor Emeritus at the Technical University of Delft, founder and former director of Octatube.

The Ecologies of the Building Envelope theorizes the building envelope as a literal embodiment of the social, political, technological, and economic contingencies which have become embedded within it over the last century, analyzing the historical lineages, heroes and villains that helped define the complex material ecologies we see within the envelope today. While the facade is one of the most thoroughly theorized elements of architecture, it is also one of the most questioned since the end of the 19th century. Within the discipline of architecture, the traditional understanding of the facade focuses primarily on semiotic and compositional operations (such as proportional laws and linguistic codes) which are deployed on the building's surface. Rather than producing a stylistic analysis of the facade, we investigate the historical lineages of the performances, components, assembly types, and material entanglements that constitute the contemporary building envelope today.
