Nazvanie: Glass Structures: Design and Construction of SelfNr.supporting SkinsAvtor: Jan WurmIzdatelstvo: Birkhaeuser Basel Walter de Gruyter GmbHGod izdaniya: 2007ISBNNr.10: 3764376082ISBNNr.13: 978-3-7643-7608-6Format: tverdyj pereplet hardcoverYazyk: anglijskijKolichestvo stranits: 255Strana izdaniya: Shvejtsariya Birkhaeuser Basel Walter de Gruyter GmbH, GermaniyaShvejtsariyaPereplet: tverdyjPolnoe opisanie na anglijskom Nr. yazyke izdaniya: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 pressureNr.resistant, flat supporting element as a basic building block for broad supporting structures. The spatial and constructive forms of multifunctional, selfNr.supporting glass envelopes are vividly illustrated and systematically explained. The constructions presented exhibit new aesthetic qualities, based not on the dictum of dematerializationNr. but on the poetry of gleaming and transparent planes. They ring in a new chapter in the history of glass architecture.Perevod na russkij:Ploskoe steklo otkryvaet proektirovshchiku bolshe vozmozhnostej, chem prakticheski lyuboj drugoj material.
