Building with glass opens up a whole tange of fascinating design possibilities for the planning architect. Glass has long served as a translucent room closing etement, but its tange of possibte uses la actual[y much wider. It not only offers protection against the external world, for example, noise or fire; despite its apparent fragility, it can even take on toad-bearing functions in supporting structures. In combination with various different fin ishing methods, materiats, and coatings, it also satisfies exacting structura-physical standards. Building with glass offers a otear, compact, and illustrated overview of the material-appropriate use of this varied and versatile material in building construction and provides information that goes far beyond the basics on designing with glass and produoing and using specialized glase products, as well as on the buitding and planning regulations that must be taken into account when constructing with glass. A selection of exemptary reatized projeots rounds out the theoretical seotion.
