Abstract

Présentation de détails de construction en verre dans des projets récents regroupés par typologie : bâtiments culturels, bâtiments résidentiels, bâtiments publics et commerciaux, bâtiments éducatifs. Chaque projet est illustré par des photographies, un plan, des coupes et des schémas techniques. Les dessins sous format eps ou dwg sont disponibles sur le CD joint Detail in Contemporary Glass Architecture provides analysis of both the technical and the aesthetic importance of details in modern glass architecture. Featuring the work of renowned architects from around the world, this book presents 50 of the most recently completed and influential glass designs for residential, public and commercial architecture. Each project is presented with colour photographs, site plans and sections and elevations, as well as numerous construction details. There is also a descriptive text, detailed captions and in-depth information for each project, including the location, client, architectural project team, main consultants and contractors. The projects are presented in clear and concise layouts over four pages. All of the drawings are styled in the same consistent way and presented at standard architectural scales to allow for easy comparison. Publisher description

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

The current material customer of translucent building materials Translucent materials give architects far more possibilities to exploit the sensual interplay of light and the fascination of interior-exterior interaction than plain glass, a fact proved by their increasing application. Traditionally, stretched paper, finely-cut stone, or stained glass were used to create mood and atmosphere. These are now giving way to a new generation of innovative materials - composite glass, synthetic panels, membranes and perforated metals.
