Description
The curtain wall, a non-bearing exterior wall attached to a building’s structural frame is an omnipresent feature of contemporary architecture. Variations of pattern and color, or the play with transparency and opacity, offer the architect almost limitless possibilities for designing facades for museums, office buildings, or residential towers. This book presents 23 exemplary projects by Cesar Pelli & Associates,one of the most accomplished practitioners of curtian wall design. Arranged by material – glass, metal, stone – the conception and development of each individual facade is revealed. All construction details are comprehensively documented in numerous drawings and photographs.
