Glass architecture is light architecture. A symbiosis of architecture, structural engineering and - last but not least- lighting design!
Abstract
From Paxton’s Crystal Palace for the Great Exhibition in London a century ago to the present day, glass and steel are a favourite combination of materials in modern architecture. Transparency, openness and flexibility in modern buildings have taken a step further towards light and luminescence in defining the architectural philosophy of present times.
