Engineered Transparency

The Technical, Visual, and Spatial Effects of Glass

Michael Bell, Jeannie Kim

Engineered Transparency presents a portfolio of projects featuring cutting-edge glass designs by today’s most innovative architects, including SANAA’s acclaimed Glass Pavilion at the Toledo Museum of Art, Yoshio Taniguchi’s MoMA expansion in New York City and Steven Holl’s Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City. With contributions by foremost thinkers in the field of architecture and design including historians Kenneth Frampton, Antoine Picon and Detlef Mertins; cultural critics Beatriz Colomina, Joan Ockman and Reinhold Martin; engineers Werner Sobek, Guy Nordenson and Richard Tomasetti; architects Kazuyo Sejima, Steven Holl and Elizabeth Diller; Engineered Transparency redefines glass as a 21st-century building material and challenges our assumptions about its aesthetic, structural and spatial potential.
