Following the success of the earlier titles in this series,
"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. There is also a CD-ROM which
contains all the drawings as printed in the book, in both EPS and
DWG generic CAD formats. In addition, this book features an index
of architects that includes the name, address and all contact
details for each architect included. "Detail in Contemporary Glass
Architecture" is an excellent reference work for practising
architects as well as architecture and design students.
