A comprehensive guide to the nature and performance of glass and its relationship with the building occupant. Prepared by a team of expert contributors from Pilkington Glass Ltd., the volume explores the visual, thermal, mechanical, and protective functions so that specifiers of glass can fully understand what they can achieve with it. Numerous line diagrams help to explain relevant points of theory, while built examples are illustrated by color photographs throughout the text. Primarily for architects and design professionals.
