Translucent Building Skins (eBook, PDF)

Material Innovations in Modern and Contemporary Architecture

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Translucent Building Skins explores the design of innovative building enclosure systems (or skins) in contemporary architecture and their precedents in earlier 20th century modern architecture. The book explores the tectonics, the history and the influence of translucency as a defining characteristic in architecture.

Highly illustrated, the book analyzes works by renowned contemporary architects such as Steven Holl, Renzo Piano and Kengo Kuma, situating their designs within a trajectory that includes earlier work by such modern masters as Frank Lloyd Wright, Gordon Bunshaft, and Pierre Chareau.
