Book Description
Flat glass opens up more possibilities for the planner than virtually any other material. Because of the technological complexity of using it, however, no specific structural forms have been developed for glass supporting frameworks as they have been for wood, concrete, and steel. This book is thus the first to present a coherent guide to the planning and design of glass supporting frameworks. The focus is on the pressure-resistant, flat supporting element as a basic building block for broad supporting structures. The spatial and constructive forms of multifunctional, self-supporting glass envelopes are vividly illustrated and systematically explained. The constructions presented exhibit new aesthetic qualities, based not on the dictum of "dematerialization” but on the poetry of gleaming and transparent planes. They ring in a new chapter in the history of glass architecture.

Houses of Glass: A Nineteenth-Century Building Type

Crystal Palaces, American Garden Conservatories
ASIN: 0714832111 |
Book Description
When John Ruskin attempted to disparage the Crystal Palace by referring to it as `a great cucumber frame', he hit upon a truism. The Crystal Palace outdid its Victorian glasshouse contemporaries in public gardens around the world and represented the zenith of a building type that had developed spectacularly from humble horticultural roots.
The Glasshouse traces the evolution of glass enclosures from the mid-seventeenth century when the desire to nurture exotic plants in a foreign and often hostile climate led to the development of the glasshouse and ingenious mechanical servicing systems, capable of creating its own artificial microclimate. Through tremendous technical advances in the early nineteenth century, large-scale constructions were built initially for private individuals and botanical societies. Towards the mid-century, with the advent of mass-production and specialist component systems, the fashioning of modular constructions, like the Crystal Palace, became possible. The Glasshouse charts the work of innovators such as Joseph Paxton and J C Loudon, and proceeds to examine their influence on the pioneers of twentieth-century design such as Paul Scheerbart and Bruno Taut.

Book Description
From the Gothic to the contemporary, glass has transformed the structural, formal, and philosophical principles of architecture. In The Glass State, Annette Fierro views the many meanings of transparency in architecture. Specifically, she analyzes the transparent monumental buildings that were built in Paris between 1981 and 1998 as part of Francois Mitterrand's program of Grands Projets. The Grands Projets provide a rare opportunity to study a finite set of buildings constructed of similar materials, in the same time period, in a specific urban landscape, and with related ideological missions.
Fierro employs a "discourse of the detail," in which the smallest architectural detail manifests the political, theoretical, and urban contexts of the building's design and construction. She examines the paradox of the most pared down architectural configurations being used to support the most complex meanings. Intrinsic to Mitterrand's glass buildings in Paris, for example, is a political concept: the metaphor of accessibility as a means of breaking open cultural institutions previously closed to the public.
In addition to the structures of the Grands Projets -- the Institut du Monde Arabe, the Grande and Petite Pyramides du Louvre, the glass greenhouses at utopian park projects at La Villette and Andre Citroën and the Bibliotheque nationale de France -- Fierro discusses the Fondation Cartier and two precedent structures, the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Eiffel Tower.
Customer Reviews:
Spot On! Worthy of notice........2003-06-12
Fierro's detailed exploration of the Grand Projets is spot-on, well-told and (for the most part) absent of the architectural demagoguery that so often occurs in books that explore architecture at a level beyond mere form. On occasion the author strays, or interprets differently than other scholars might, but overall her exploration is a solid effort; worthy of notice. Her quiet feud with the well-known braggart architect Stanley Tigerman is left untouched in this book. I've been told that she's adopted a strict adherence to the high road, which was a disappointment to this reader (who's seen the man at his most pompous).

A guide to high-tech applications of glass.......2000-09-24
I bought the 1999 version of the book from Barcelona and made use of in my thesis research that is related to the topic of "Glass Surfaces in Architecture". The book edited by Behling consists of selected issues about glass production and its use in architecture with the latest innovations, which have already been discussed in the international conferences held in glasstec fair in Düsseldorf. It is beneficial to have such a selection that I would otherwise be unaware of the discussed issues about glass unless joining the conferences. The selection is edited under four topic as "Craft, Industry Facades", Structural Use of Glass", "Structural Experiments with Glass", and "Materials and Systems". The way organising the information and cases of glass seems very practical so that the necessary parts of the topics could be picked. Besides, the paragraphs were organised as interrelated with the illustrations, which also provide ease to read. The language is not too technical and but the technical information is clearly understood. Therefore, I like the book in general. Yet, one thing to criticise, it is could have been more concentrating on glass facade systems surface applications such as printing techniques that transform architectural appearance, to appeal my topic. Another thing might be that, the architectural examples could be more emphasised, even some buildings can be given with their drawings not only in details but also plans and sections.

Book Description
As a material, glass allows the creation of an especially elegant and aesthetic architecture. This book shows in detail the latest technological and material developments in glass construction by presenting the most significant built examples of the last five years.
Contemporary architecture cannot be thought of without also taking into consideration the utilization of large-scale glass facades. The large, bright halls of the TGV station in Paris-Roissy (Paul Andreu) or the Leipzig Neue Messe (Gerkan, Marg & Partner with Ian Ritchie) owe their existence to this relatively young technology of large-scale constructed glazing. Wherever transparency and natural light are desired, glass facades and roofs are being used, enabling an architecture of great lightness and elegance.
The book presents these technically demanding buildings in great detail. Approximately 25 exceptional international projects from the past five years are presented along with their distinctive constructional details. The precise description of the buildings is enhanced with numerous pictures and scaled detailed drawings. The choice of buildings includes diverse types of construction and utilization and presents the full spectrum of contemporary glass technology. In addition to its technical documents, the book offers a comprehensive, technologically up-to-date sourcebook of the design possibilities of building with glass.
Among the structures presented are the Kunsthaus Bregenz by Peter Zumthor, the Tokyo International Forum by Rafael Vinoly, the Hotel at Munich Airport by Helmut Jahn, the Graz Airport by Riegler/Riewe and the Forestry Center in Marche-en-Famenne in Belgium by Philippe Samyn.

Book Description
Perspective determines how we, as viewers, perceive painting. We can convince ourselves that a painting of a bowl of fruit or a man in a room appears to be real by the way these objects are rendered. Likewise, the trick of perspective can prevent us from being absorbed in a scene. Connecting contemporary critical theory with close readings of seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture, The Rhetoric of Perspective puts forth the claim that painting is a form of thinking and that perspective functions as the language of the image.
Aided by a stunning full-color gallery, Hanneke Grootenboer proposes a new theory of perspective based on the phenomenological aspects of non-narrative still-life, trompe l'oeil, and anamorphic imagery. Drawing on playful and mesmerizing baroque images, Grootenboer characterizes what she calls their "sophisticated deceit," asserting that painting is more about visual representation than about its supposed objects.
Offering an original theory of perspective's impact on pictorial representation, the act of looking, and the understanding of truth in painting, Grootenboer shows how these paintings both question the status of representation and explore the limits and credibility of perception.
“An elegant and honourable synthesis.”—Keith Miller, Times Literary Supplement

Insights for Still-Life Painters.......2007-05-11
As a painter of still-life, I purchased the book for obvious reasons. The text is for a more academic audience; this is not a light read. Some familiarity with post-modern analysis is helpful. Fortunately the writing is not too dense. As an artist I was able to gain some insights into how some intellectuals would interpret my own work and to a lesser extent made me aware of some of my own unchallenged assumptions.
Interesting, Synthetic text.......2006-12-01
Grootenboer takes a fresh and captivating look at Dutch Still Life and its philosophical implications, touching on many fields and ways of seeing. This book is dense, yet Grootenboer's voice leads the reader through its density towards a whole new way of experiencing this specific, fascinating genre. I was excited to read someone appropriately synthesizing postmodern theories and ideals into a new way of looking at Dutch art, which in my opinion lends itself perfectly to these heady ponderings. Buy the book and more importantly read it, like the great artworks it discusses, Rhetoric of Perspective may change your overall "perspective."

Art and Commerce in the Dutch Golden Age
ASIN: 0520216989 |
Book Description
The variations of pleasure and their expression in Dutch rustic landscapes of the seventeenth century are recurring themes in Walter S. Gibson's engaging new book. Gibson focuses on Haarlem between 1600 and 1635, in his interpretation of Dutch landscapes and emphasizes prints, the medium in which the rustic view was first made available to the general art-buying public.
Gibson begins by looking at the origins of the rustic landscape in the sixteenth-century Flanders and its later reformation by Dutch artists, a legacy very much alive today. He next offers a critical review of "scriptural reading," a popular mode of interpreting the Dutch rustic landscape that incorporates Calvinist-influenced moral allegories. Gibson then explores traditional ideas concerning recreation and suggests that the pleasure of rural landscapes, not preaching, constituted their chief appeal for seventeenth-century urban viewers.
Using Visscher's Plaisante Plaetsen ("Pleasant Places") as a point of departure, Gibson examines the ways that townspeople, both the day-trippers and owners of country houses, experienced the Dutch countryside. He also discusses the role of staffage and suggests how the representations of peasants might have conditioned the responses of contemporary viewers to rural images.
Finally, Gibson considers how scenes of the dilapidated farm buildings, dead trees, and other evidence of material decay may reflect traditional ideas rustic life as imagined by a townsperson. Or how they may represent another way for the artist to engage his urban audience: far removed from the idealized landscapes of a Giorgione, the rustic landscape of a Ruisdael conveys a countryside that was beginning to disappear under the relentless pressures of urbanization.
Gibson's multilayered exploration of the rustic landscape enhances our understanding of the Golden Age in Dutch art. His richly illustrated book recalls a countryside now largely gone; at the same time, his evocative language gracefully articulates the role of the Dutch rustic landscape in the history of landscape painting.
Customer Reviews:
A Pleasant Book.......2001-01-22
Walter Gibson's "Pleasant Places" will help you enjoy the quiet and unassuming genre of 17th Century northern European landscape art. The author accepts the works at face value: pleasant images of places the Dutch in particular liked to visit. Gibson does not read religious allegory into them as some art historians do, but he instead shows you how to appreciate the quality of light, the sense of place, and the Dutch character that emerges from Dutch landscape art. He perhaps inadvertently offers some examples where religious interpretations may be more important than he allows, and you do not feel that he is forcing all of the works to fit his premise even though he is steadfast. The book is well-written, and I especially appreciate the author's parenthetical definition of Dutch terms and concepts as they are introduced. In addition, he gently reminds you of their meanings when they are reintroduced in subsequent chapters, so you won't have to hunt through the index and text to find them again. Some of the black-white reproductions of prints are too small, and not clear enough to enable detailed study, but this is a common problem with art history books, and this book will motivate you to visit the nearest art museum to study the genre in any case. Walter Gibson communicates a love and respect for 17th Century northern European landscape art that makes me want to visit Holland and experience it first-hand. Walter Gibson has persuaded me that I will find the Dutch countryside a pleasant place laden with history and wonderful light.

Jacob Van Ruisdael: Master of Landscape
ASIN: 0300089724 |
Book Description
Jacob van Ruisdael is the preeminent Dutch landscape painter of the seventeenth century, renowned for the wealth of closely observed naturalistic detail in his works. This beautiful book, written by one of the most distinguished scholars of Dutch art, is a catalogue raisonné of Ruisdael's landscapes: almost 700 paintings, more than 130 drawings, and 13 rare etchings.
Seymour Slive demonstrates the totality of the artist's vision in all three media, offering comprehensive and perceptive entries on all catalogued works. He also presents and discusses paintings and drawings that have been wrongly attributed to Ruisdael or whose status is uncertain. In addition, Slive provides a documented chronology of Ruisdael's life based on a fresh examination of published and unpublished archival material; a chronological list of his dated works in all media; a topographical index; and concordances. In two appendices, Slive reviews the proposal that Ruisdael had a second profession as a medical doctor and discusses the copies John Constable made of Ruisdael's landscapes during the course of his lifelong passion for the master.
The combination of text and lavish reproductions makes this volume both a major work of scholarship and a vivid testimony to Ruisdael's ongoing legacy.

Excellent, very detailed catalogue.......2003-01-27
This is one detailed overview of Ruisdael's work... :) For those interested in 17th century Dutch landscape painting and/or more specifically Jacob van Ruisdael, this book is a must-have. Beware though that it is a very specific book; so unless you already have some art history under your belt, I wouldn't recommend it.
All in all, a very excellent book for its type, by a VERY knowledgeable writer.
(see also "Dutch Painting. 1600-1800" by the same writer, which is a less detailed, more general book on Dutch 17th century painting)
