Download or read book Houses of Glass written by Georg Kohlmaier and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The glasshouses of the nineteenth century represent a remarkable confluence of opposites in architecture and technology. The architecture was designed to create an artificial climate in which people could return to paradise, and yet the technical means employed were also basic to the century's developing industrial grime -the other side of paradise. Enriched by more than 700 illustrations, Houses of Glass chronicles these pristine structures as they evolved from hothouses into exhibition halls, ballrooms, and theaters. Georg Kohlmaier is an architect and Barna von Sartory a sculptor. They have collaborated on many books and articles on contemporary architecture.

Book excerpt: Glass is infinitely variable. This complexity stands as a promising technology for the 21st century since the need for environmentally friendly materials has reached a critical point due to climate change. However, such a wide range of variability makes new glass compositions difficult to design. The difficulty is only exaggerated when considering that not only is there an infinite variability in the compositional space, but also an infinite variability thermal history of a glass and in the crystallinity of glass-cearmics. This means that even for a simple binary glass there are at least 3 dimensions that have to be optimized. To resolve this difficulty, it is shown that energy landscapes can capture all three sets of complexity (composition, thermal history, and crystallinity). The explicit energy landscape optimization, however, has a large computational cost. To circumvent the cost of the energy landscape mapping, we present new research that allows for physical predictions of key properties. These methods are divided into two categories: compositional models and thermal history models. Both models for composition and thermal history are derived from energy landscapes. Software for each method is presented. As a conclusion, applications of the newly created models are discussed.

Download or read book Glass: written by William S. Ellis and published by William Morrow. This book was released on 1998-11-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In prose as crystalline as his subject, the author celebrates the versatility and functionality of glass, and explains how a substance known to all but understood by few has been shaped and molded to serve mankind in innumerable ways. Readers will learn how glass has both shaped and been shaped by man's changing relationship to the environment; how it has brought vision to the sight-deprived and to humans beings huddling in the dark; and how glass enters the 21st century yielding an almost unlimited horizon of possiblities. With grace, charm and authority, Glass delves into history, invention, manufacturing, fine art, and the myriad faces and forms of this protean substance. Whether visiting the flamboyant glass artist Dale Chihuly, dissecting the creation of a twenty-ton telescopic mirror, sampling the history of Tiffany's magnificent lamps, or watching the design and construction of the greenhouses of Kew Gardens, this book treats its readers to a multifaceted vision of a material eternally destiend to die a violent death, and to be constantly reborn in a relentlessly changing world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the doom and gloom of financial crises, global terrorism, climate collapse, and the rise of the far-right, a number of leading intellectuals (Steven Pinker, Hans Rosling, Johan Norberg, and Matt Ridley, among others) have been arguing in recent years that the world is getting better and better. But this “progress narrative” is little more than a very conservative defence of the capitalist status quo. At a time when liberal democracy appears incapable of stemming the tide of the far-right populism, and when laissez-faire capitalism is ill-equipped to deal with socio-economic problems like climate change, inequality, and the future of wok, the real advocates of progress are those willing to challenge these established paradigms. The Glass Half-Empty argues that, without criticising the systems of capitalism, the changes needed to make a better world will always fall short of our expectations. The "progress narrative" needs to be challenged before we stumble into a potentially catastrophic future, despite having the means to build a truly better world.
