Summary: A guide to high-tech applications of glass
Comment: I bought the 1999 version of the book from Barcelona and made use of in my thesis research that is related to the topic of "Glass Surfaces in Architecture". The book edited by Behling consists of selected issues about glass production and its use in architecture with the latest innovations, which have already been discussed in the international conferences held in glasstec fair in Düsseldorf. It is beneficial to have such a selection that I would otherwise be unaware of the discussed issues about glass unless joining the conferences. The selection is edited under four topic as "Craft, Industry Facades", Structural Use of Glass", "Structural Experiments with Glass", and "Materials and Systems". The way organising the information and cases of glass seems very practical so that the necessary parts of the topics could be picked. Besides, the paragraphs were organised as interrelated with the illustrations, which also provide ease to read. The language is not too technical and but the technical information is clearly understood. Therefore, I like the book in general. Yet, one thing to criticise, it is could have been more concentrating on glass facade systems surface applications such as printing techniques that transform architectural appearance, to appeal my topic. Another thing might be that, the architectural examples could be more emphasised, even some buildings can be given with their drawings not only in details but also plans and sections.
