The third part of a trilogy on materials, this volume brings together the contributions of the speakers at the study day. Transparency and lightness in architecture - Facades, curtain walls, intelligent envelopes, 1790-2025 , organized on April 21, 2022 at ENSA Paris-Malaquais.
The texts are organized into two main sections. The first focuses on glass and aluminum materials and their associated technologies. The second is devoted to the evolution of facades in modern and contemporary architecture; it focuses on the development of curtain walls and the most recent trends in the design of translucent facades, particularly with regard to energy aspects in the context of the climate crisis and the scarcity of materials.
These two sequences are preceded by an introductory text and followed by a tribute to the Irish engineer Peter Rice, in the form of an interview with two of his closest collaborators, thirty years after his death.
