New. Mint Copies. This book describes the state of the art following several processes of design, development and realisation regarding true structural glass. The processes described include several ways of using glass panels in spatial structures, ranging from non-loadbearing glass panels in conventional skylights around space frames, via structurally sealed glass panels with an additional stabilizing function, to structurally loadbearing glass panels. Here metal elements are used only as connection and as additional elements for the overall stability. The goal of this quest for glass space structures with loadbearing glass plates, ultimately in the form of horizontal roof structures. The point of view of the author is that of a product architect, which combines the professions of architect, structural engineer and industrial designer on the one hand, and of a specialist producer on the other. The aim of this book is to familiarize architects with these new developments, to evoke discussions and to boost further developments with equal openness of information upgrading the state of art. Hopefully the book has its modest positive influence on the quality of architecture. Product Development in Glass Structures is to be regarded as a second volume to Mick Eekhout?s dissertation Architecture in Space Structures (Uitgeverij 010 Publishers, Rotterdam 1989). Completing what is to be a trilogy will be Structural Design in Space Frames, to be published in 1991., Ill. bn: illustrated throughout, Ill. colori: 4 colour illustrations, Peso: 315 gr.
