About this title

Synopsis

This definitive volume explores the use of transparent, translucent, and semi-opaque materials, both as structural elements to create divisions or link one space to another, and as ready-to-buy accessories. Sections are organized by different types of materials: clear and frosted glass, colored glass, textured glass, fiberglass, acrylic, paper, polycarbonate, translucent fabrics, and grid structures. Each one examines the composition and manufacture of the material and the various products available commercially. Photographs demonstrate inspired applications of transparent modern materials in interior spaces.
