About this Item

Wraps (PB) in as new condition. Trilingual German, English and French Edition. The use of glass as a building material was encouraged in particular by garden design, as the protection of exotic plants required the construction of greenhouses and orangeries. In a record time of just five months, Joseph Paxton, himself a garden designer, put up the Crystal Palace in London's Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. Since then, architecture without glass has been inconceivable, and glass has been used as a construction material by renowned architects worldwide for industrial buildings and private houses. 255 pages. As this book is both over sized and heavy, there will be an extra postal charge for priority or for shipping outside of the country.
