This book presents a reconstruction of the Hellenistic-Roman glass industry from the point of view of raw material procurement. Within the ERC funded ARCHGLASS project, the authors of this work developed new geochemical techniques to provenance primary glass making. They investigated both production and consumer sites of glass, and identified suitable mineral resources for glass making through geological prospecting. Because the source of the raw materials used in the manufacturing of natron glass can be determined, new insights in the trade of this material are revealed. While eastern Mediterranean glass factories were active throughout the Hellenistic to early Islamic period, western Mediterranean and possibly Italian and North African sources also supplied the Mediterranean world with raw glass in early Roman times. By combining archaeological and scientific data, the authors develop new interdisciplinary techniques for an innovative archaeological interpretation of glass trade in the Hellenistic-Roman world, highlighting the development of glass as an economic material.

Cet ouvrage retrace l'histoire du projet et de la construction du nouveau siège européen à Louvain-la-Neuve. AGC Glass Building est, en 2013, l'un des plus grands immeubles de bureaux à énergie quasi nulle de Belgique et obtint au cours de la phase de projet le certificat BREAAM " excellent ". Le présent ouvrage d'architecture se veut avant tout un ouvrage technique et scientifique de référence. L'ensemble des croquis de projets, des dessins techniques, des photos de chantier et la série de photos de la photographe bruxelloise Marie-Françoise Plissart illustrent tous les aspects essentiels à la réalisation d'un immeuble de bureaux durable. Philippe Samyn, architecte et ingénieur, designer principal avec Bernard Van Damme et Ghislain André, a collaboré avec Jan De Coninck, ingénieur et architecte, pour la réalisation de ce livre.

Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book's original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume.
