Riassunto:

Helmut Jahn has given the use of steel and glass in architecture an exceptional technical and aesthetic articulation that is inseparably associated with the concept of transparency. Standing squarely in the tradition of the nineteenth century and yet interested in the continued development of innovative facade technologies, Jahn places the supporting steel structure of his buildings on the outside. At the same time he wraps his glass skin around a light and weightless interior that acquires a special force through effects of light and color.
This creative intelligence of Helmut Jahn is one reason why he has become one of the most successful architects in recent decades. This new book by Werner Blaser presents projects by Helmut Jahn from the last twenty years. In them the transparency of built space is utilized as an architectural element so impressively that it can be said to show the new path for the further development of architecture in the next millennium.
