{"product_id":"glass-in-structures","title":"Glass in Structures : Elements, Concepts, Designs","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of the most fascinating and sophisticated applications of glass in contemporary architecture is its use as a load-bearing material. Pioneered by Peter Rice and Hugh Dutton for structural glazing of facades, glass as a structural material is now commonly used throughout buildings. Glass Roofs, Glass Facades, Other Glass Walls, Glass Floors, Glass Beams and, as the utmost point of experiment, Glass Columns are the subjects of this book. The introduction deals with questions of material properties and the central issue of security, while the final part develops an integrative approach to architecture based on the experience of building with glass structures. The author Rob Nijsse is partner of abt, one of the biggest engineering firms in the Netherlands. He draws on his intimate knowledge of a large number of projects by Benthem \u0026amp; Crouwel, Neutelings, Mecanoo, van Egeraat, Cepezed, O. M. A. , Arets and many other architects in the Netherlands, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, Hungary, Portugal and Korea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"biblio-info\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eFormat\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardback | 167 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eDimensions\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e230 x 297 x 16.26mm | 1,102.23g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublication date\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"datePublished\"\u003e01 Sep 2003\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublisher\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemscope=\"Birkhauser Verlag AG\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemprop=\"publisher\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/publishers\/Birkhauser-Verlag-AG\" itemprop=\"url\"\u003eBirkhauser Verlag AG\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublication City\/Country\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBasel, Switzerland\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eLanguage\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eIllustrations note\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e150 colour and 150 b\u0026amp;w illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eISBN10\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3764364394\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eISBN13\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"isbn\"\u003e9783764364397\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basheer Graphics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40862525751491,"sku":"3764364394","price":50.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1105\/7032\/products\/116_451ea1d8-0b62-4ac0-924a-08457fc19e12.jpg?v=1633495719","url":"https:\/\/www.basheergraphic.live\/products\/glass-in-structures","provider":"Basheer Graphics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
