Great Windows in Modern Architecture

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores how the act of detailing and situating windows in buildings is a key proponent in the language of architecture. It investigates 18 case studies to define what makes these windows â greatâ and how each window is situated within both its technical and philosophical context and as an overall development of modern architecture.
