About the Item

Engineered Transparency: The Technical, Visual, and Spatial Effects of Glass Hardcover Book. February 18, 2009 by Michael Bell, Jeannie Kim. Glass is one of the most ubiquitous and extensively researched building materials. Despite the critical role it has played inmodern architecture in the last century, we have yet to fully comprehend the cultural and technological effects of this complex and sophisticated building Material. Engineered Transparency brings together an extraordinary, multidisciplinary group of international architects, engineers, manufacturers, and critics to collectively reconsider glass within the context of recent engineering and structural achievements. In light of these advancements, glass has reemerged as a novel architectural Material, offering new and previously unimaginable modes of visual pleasure and spatial experience. Engineered Transparency presents a portfolio of projects featuring cutting-edge glass designs by todays most innovative architects, including SANAA's acclaimed Glass Pavilion at the Toledo Museum of Art, Yoshio Taniguchi's MoMA Expansion inNew York City, and Steven Holl's Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City. With contributions by foremost thinkers in the field of architecture and design including historians Kenneth Frampton, Antoine Picon, and Detlef Mertins; cultural critics Beatriz Colomina, Joan Ockman, and Reinhold Martin; engineers Werner Sobek, Guy Nordenson,and Richard Tomasetti; and architects Kazuyo Sejima, Steve Holl, and Elizabeth Diller, Engineered Transparency redefines glass as a 21st century building Material and challenges our assumptions about its aesthetic, structural, and spatial potential.
