Glass Construction

Who can´t see them in their mind´s eye, the images of Rem Koolhaas´ Netherlands Embassy in Berlin or the Prada Epicentre in Tokyo from Herzog & de Meuron? The deciding constructional details are only presented in depth here. Not only projects earning world-wide recognition, however, provide remarkable design solutions. DETAIL has, as always, enjoyed seeking out and presenting, amongst other examples, a glass pavilion in a park, a façade of glass tiles and other projects utilising various combinations of glass and colour. Read the interview with Matthias Sauerbruch or the technical articles on adhesive glass constructions or combination glass types.
