From the Crystal Palace through to the towering glass spires of today's cities, few architectural materials have held such immense symbolic resonance in the modern era. 'The Age of Glass' explores the cultural and technological ascension of glass in modern and contemporary architecture. Showing how the use of glass is driven as much by changing cultural concerns as it is by developments in technology and style, it traces the richly interwoven material, symbolic, and ideological histories of glass to show how it has produced and dispersed meaning in architecture over the past two centuries. The book's chapters focus on key moments within the modern history of architecture, moments when glass came to the forefront of architectural thought, and which illustrate how glass has been used at different times to project different cultural ideas. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on March 02, 2018). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 21st century|2fast 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-2099|2fast 650 0 Glass construction|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85055130|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Glass construction|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85055130|xHistory|y21st century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006168 650 0 Architecture and society|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009115380 650 0 Architecture and society|xHistory|y21st century. 650 7 Glass construction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 943109 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Architecture and society.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/813574 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aEskilson, Stephen, 1964-|tAge of glass. |dLondon ; New York, NY : Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2018|z9781474278362|w(DLC) 2017028111|w(OCoLC)974445339 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1663967|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
