Anotace

Na více než 200 fotografiích jsou představeny ikony "domů ze skla" od realizací Mies van der Roha přes Oscara Niemeyera a Richarda Rogerse až po Normana Fostera a jeho návrhy domů na japonském venkově.

The most versatile, practical and beautiful of all the materials at architects´ disposal, glass has the power to re-energize tired and dismal buildings and to breathe life into the designs of the most spectacular new ones

From practical responses to the growing desire for indoor-outdoor living, to the dazzling glass houses that perch in some of the world's most awe-inspiring locations, Glass House showcases the inspirational contribution of glass to the architecture of the modern home, tracing its progress from the first forays of the early modernists right up to the astonishing palaces of today.
