THE FUNDAMENTALS OF...
Explore the building blocks of modern architecture— from first idea to finished building. The Fundamentals of Architecture, like the other books in the successful "Fundamentals "series, gives a comprehensive introduction to the basics of its subject— the building-block ideas behind architecture, interior design, and the graphic language of planning space.
ARCHITECTURE MATERIALS GLASS
Glass has a history going back more than 4,000 years. The Romans were the first to glaze their windows to keep out wind and weather. But it was only the steady development of rolling and casting techniques in the 18th and above all the 19th century which allowed the production of ever larger, more transparent and thinner panes of glass. 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.
