Though In recent years much attention was directed to its sensual properties, the focus is increasingly turing to its performance, Larger formats, thinner panes, and new processes: inthis issue we present the state-of-the-art develop- mants, But that doesn't mean that the aesthetic qual ties of glass are disragardad; instead, they vary cor: responding to the application. The building envelope of a World Trade Organization administration edifice in Geneva featured in this issue appears dematerialised; the colourful photovoltaic modules incorporated In the facade of the SwissTech Convention Center in Lausanne produce a kaleidoscope effect; and the generously glazed new skin adcied to a forty-year~ ald city hall in Zeeland completely transforms the building's character.2018 Built Transparency - Nineteenth Century Greenhouses (Christian Schitich Qin ‘They ere among the nineteenth century's ‘most fascinating structures, yel tend to be ‘overlooked by classical architectural histo ry: the lacelike greenhouses of iron and glass whose form and articulation are de- rived solely from functional and tachnical requirements. New constuction methods {and formal innovations ~ later to become fundamentals of modem architecture ~ are brought to bear in those early manifest tions cf industrialised construction, Because their erecters ~ typically gavden- fers or engineers — were completely tree of the conventions of the architecture of their time and questions of style, they wiere able to omploy unusual matorial combinations as \well aa the nascent potential ef prefabricat- ‘ed construction — but also experiment with hitherto unknown aesthetics, And the build ing codes for these purely utiitarian struc tutes for plants ~ initially, stays of longer duration by people were not foreseen — allow greater leeway. ‘These factors, in combination with incipient industrialised methods for the production of iron and glass, during a phase in which an increasing number of exotic plants was ar- riving in Europe from the colonies ~ aristo- rats and woalthy individuals wre Keon to cultivate and exhibit them — led to the con sbuction of unprecedented spaces. IFithadin't been forthe experience gained by erecting these greenhouses, pioneering buildings such as Joseph Paxton’s Crystal Palace (1851) would not have baen poss bile. Afterall, Paxton aleo obtained his structural knowedge by building aren: houses ~ although not much remains of ther today. Even before Paxton entered the scene, John Claudius Leudon ~ like Paxcon, also treined as a gardener ~ established the fundamental principles of greenhouse ‘eonstruction. In his nurnerous eatiy-nine teenth-century texts end studies he seeks to define their ideal ‘characteristics’. His, sole point of departure: the needs of the plants, To allow the graatoat possible amaunt of light to enter their interiors, Loucion insists thatthe ratio of stucture to glace be kept as low as possible, and the load-bearing ‘members be as slender as possibe. Furthermore, he develops the curvilinear forms that are to become associated wth the greenhouses of his day. In his works he ‘makes reference to the ideas of Sir George Mackenzie, who in an 1815 lecture had propacad orienting a greenhouse’s sion pparalel tothe celestial dome, and conse. ‘quently, the path of the sun, so thatthe rays cof both the high altitude surener sun and the low alitude winter sun would strike the panes of glass perpendicularly to their sur faces, In his manner the amount of reflect- fd light is minimised. Claudius Loudon's thorough, consistent principles lead to the dynamic, timeless Ggreennouse forms erected during the frst half of the nineteenth century ~ the ones we ‘most admire today. Later, when architec: ture increasingly gained influence on the construction of greenhouses and infused it wth the siyitic notions of is time, they be- {gan to lose thelr ciear forms.

The cantinued develop. ‘ment of the production and processing technologies of glass and the continual im- provement of ‘application ready" products play a decisive role in mastering increasing demands regerding functional require- rents and the quest for new aesthetic forms of exprassion, ‘A number of spectacular architecture pro jects and novel design concepts have tig- gored the developments in this fed. I: provements in planning and simulation tools ease realizations, or even make them possible at all, The transferral of devalop- ‘ments from ather technical disciplines to the construction sector has also paved the way for innovative glass products. In ada tion, othor time-honoured manufacturing and processing methods have been im proved upon and refined in recent years, thereby significantly enhancing quality and avallability, as woll as varity and dimen. sions, ofthe glass produced. The improved availabilly of certain types of glass — for ‘example, lowiron glase or tochnical glass developed for special applications - in mination wth new pre-etressing, lam nation and coating techniques, rakes it possible to decisively improve the perfor mance of many glass products. Last but st, these new methods of processing Ind treating is surface open up new ‘options for remarkable design solutions, Large-format ass Inrecent years the develoorents in glass processing have pushed back in some aves significantly ~ the limits of tochnical viability, availabilly and size restictions. So far, the cimensions of the largest available float glass panes in Europe (3.21 x 6.00 metres) have been the datermining factor in the maximum format in glass processing, Whie the 18-metre-ong, tiple-glazing units {utilizing float glass) that were presented at Glasstec 2010 set new standards, the cor 2 responding production technique was not mmediately available for application. In the ‘meantime, howover, itis possibla to thor mally pre-stvess over-sized panel fermats lth a length of up to 18.00 metres (tough ‘ened glass), to laminate them (laminated glass, laminated safety glass), and to equip, them with functional coatings for thermal and solar protection, or apply ceramic fri (il. 1). Correspondingly, insulated glazing tunis measuring 3.21 x 18,00 metres can bbe manufactured as 3-glass-ply or 4-glass- ply panels that full rigorous thermal and safety standards, as well asthe structural reguirements. More and more, however, the ‘weight, installation tachniquas and logist cal requirements associated with such large formats have become preblemeti. Gless lamination plays a decisive role in functional and safoly-related aspects of lazing and facade constuction. A wide variety of interlayers are avaliable; they are typically synthetic ims such as PVE (polyvinyl butyral), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), SG (safety glass interla lonaplast/Sentry@ias) or EVA (ethylene vinyl acetal Tho glase and the interlayers are bended in fa pressure chamber (autoclave). Particular lyin comparison to conventional PVB, the sataty glass interlayor (SG) has considera bly higher shear sttength and facitates [production of very large glass laminates. ‘The advantage isa signrficanty higher load-bearing capacity and the potential to reduce ~ fer the same load ~ thickness and \Weight.

Therefore itwas necessary to butt in the laminated glass to arrve at the required length of 10 me- ites. In the newer design (2011), 5-glass- ply laminated safety glass panels measur ing 10.20 x 3.20 metres were employed, making it possible to reduce the numer of Units from 72 (in the inital design) to 12 (in the more recent one). Al the same time, the umber of components in the flexurallyrig- « self-supporting rool structure was re ‘ducad from 36 to just three. In the realization of this project, thanium connecting pieces have been incorporated in the laminate assembly forthe frst time. These connectors nearly invisibly fastan the vertical seams of the outer panes to the lass fins. By employing state-of-the-art ‘lass technology with far fewor connection points, a greater degree of rensparency ves attained (ls. 2-4), cylindrical panels that facilitate the produc- tion of pre-stressed glass with dimensions 102.21 x 6.00 mettes and radi of curva. ture of atleast about 1,00 meve, depend: ing on the thickness ofthe ojass.

Laminated satety glass units of 2x 8 mm lowiron, ul¥a-white toughened glass with an SG interlayer were ‘employed to attain the greatest possible light permeabilty and transparency. The facades’ inner surfaces were given @ hydrophobic coating, Inthe fst step, the single curvature cylindrical panels with a radius measuring lees than 18.09 motraa were hat formed in the workshop. Panes wth a radius greater than 18.00 metres wore shaped by means of forr-cupporting lamination. For double-curvature glass seg- ‘ments the final form was ettained on site by fastening the glass in the desired shape. This overall approach made it possiove to produce all ofthe building envelope's radi, Cf curvature — down to the smallest radius, which moacurad 2.03 metres. Thus, the Gesired effect was attained in optimal pro- cess, The increased stability of slightly curved glass is advantagoous to a racently presented development: large foernat ver cal tiple glazing Generally speaking, panels in formats up to 2 motras wide and § to 8 metros high (lenaths of up to 12 metres are in prepara- tion) ere oniy supported on their upper and lower edges (il, 10). Owing to their lens- shaped geometry they can be used in tree ‘spans witnout vertical supporing structure. By cambering the outer panes the glass thicknesses required for such spans can 'be reduced by 20 to 50% and, correspond: ingly, the weight of the unit kept low. In such cases the outer panes ~ current sil of toughened glass ~ are *cold” pro- formed. A patented spacer system, opt mized with respect to the arising shear forces, is employed to close the panel's long edges. The centro pane of partially pre-stressed glass provides additional sta bility and residual stebilty in case of a total failure of the remaining system, The assambly possesses a p-value of about 0.7 Wink and is quite tolerant ta im- precision in the fatness of the respective panes. Further advantages are its low \waight and tho high dagroe of transparen- Cy due to the thinness of the panes. Laminated glass employing thn glass is cxpoctad to facilitate further improvement of the distances that can be spanned. The geometry ofthis glass presents new ‘opportunities in the design of transparent facades.peta Property+Product Loft houses in Kolbenmoor In Kolbenmoor, 5 km west of Rosenhei Germany, # cotton mill closed in 1983, provided the community with opportunity for an enviable urban development.
