About This Book

Die Vorhangfassade – eine nichttragende Wand, die dem GerĂŒst eines Skelettbaus als Verkleidung vorgehĂ€ngt wird - ist aus dem Vokabular der modernen Architektur nicht wegzudenken. Die Entwicklung der Elastomere hat das TraggerĂŒst stark reduziert und die Voraussetzung fĂŒr rein glĂ€serne HĂŒllen geschaffen. In diesem Buch werden etwa zwanzig beispielhafte Fassadenlösungen des BĂŒros Cesar Pelli & Associates dokumentiert. Nach den verschiedenen Fassadenmaterialien – Glas, Metall, Stein – geordnet, werden die jeweiligen Konstruktionsdetails ausfĂŒhrlich und mit vielen Zeichnungen dargestellt. Beleuchtet wird auch der Entwicklungsprozess der jeweiligen Fassadenlösung, die meist sehr individualisiert ist in Entwurf ebenso wie in Fertigung.

Zu den dokumentierten Bauten gehören der Nakanoshima Mitsui Tower in Osaka, das Cheung Kong Center in Hongkong, die BankBoston in Buenos Aires, der Mori Tower in Tokio, Heron Quay 3 in London oder das GebĂ€ude 731 Lexington Avenue in New York. Michael J. Crosbie ist Architekt und hat zahlreiche BĂŒcher ĂŒber Architektur geschrieben. FrĂŒher Redakteur der Architekturzeitschrift Progressive Architecture, schreibt er heute regelmĂ€ĂŸig fĂŒr Zeitschriften wie Domus, Architectural Record und Landscape Architecture.
