Summary
Glass Construction is one of the most varied and innovative areas of structural design. Glass connects exterior and interior spaces; at the same time, it protects the interior space from the outside world. Its constructional possibilities go far beyond classical window constructions. Special glasses possess astonishing physical characteristics and can thus be used in varied and creative ways.Topics: Glass as building material - Processing and finishing - Applications - Construction types - Connections / Mountings
