The Price of this heavy publication includes international shipping per Courier ! Includes for example the following chapters: The Glasshouse as Mythos: The Stony Desert and the Green Oasis / The Idea of the Winter Garden: An Indoor Garden under an Artificial Sky / The Private Winter Gardens / The Glasshouse as Building Type: Beginnings in Wood, Masonry, and Glass / The Development of the Iron-Frame Glasshouse / Steam, Iron and the Industrial Revolution: Railways / Engineering and the Building Industry / Cast Iron / John Claudius London (1783-1843) / Iron as a Building Material etc. The glasshouses of the nineteenth century represent a remarkable confluence of opposites in architecture and technology. The architecture was designed to create an artificial climate in which people could return to paradise, and yet the technical means employed were also basic to the century's developing industrial grime -the other side of paradise. Enriched by more than 700 illustrations, Houses of Glass chronicles these pristine structures as they evolved from hothouses into exhibition halls, ballrooms, and theaters. Georg Kohlmaier is an architect and Barna von Sartory a sculptor. They have collaborated on many books and articles on contemporary architecture. (From jacket notes) Sprache: english.
