书籍简介

本书介绍玻璃在建筑和艺术中的应用，探讨玻璃如何作为媒介，连接内外空间，创造出独特的视觉体验和美学效果。作者Larissa Theule通过丰富的案例分析，展示了玻璃设计的多样性和创新性。

《混凝土：从零开始》的作者以其富有启发性且不乏幽默的笔触，探讨了日常生活中另一项奇迹——玻璃。

陨石撞击、火山爆发、闪电击中。这三大灾难，都孕育了玻璃——我们用它来保护自己免受自然灾害的侵袭，传递图像，储存能量，辅助日常活动，并推动医学和科学的进步。凭借人类的智慧，玻璃从最初的粗糙天然状态演变为如今精致的奇迹，帮助人类探索遥远的太空，观测地球上的小生命粒子。玻璃无处不在，它是物质世界中用途最广泛、最闪耀的奇迹之一，至今仍在改变着我们的建造方式、思维方式和视觉体验。本书以生动的对话气泡和引人入胜的事实，介绍了玻璃的历史及其在STEAM（科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学）领域的应用，并在书末附有参考书目。

The author of Concrete: From the Ground Up brings her illuminating and often dry-humored approach to reflecting on another marvel of the everyday world.

Meteoric collisions, volcanic eruptions, lightning strikes. Three catastrophes, all capable of producing glass--the stuff we use to protect us from the elements, send images, store energy, aid with everyday tasks, and make medical and scientific progress possible. With the help of human ingenuity, glass has evolved from its lumpy natural origins to a refined wonder that helps humankind see into the farthest reaches of outer space or the smallest particles of life on Earth. Glass is all around us and is one of the most versatile--and sparkling--wonders of the material world, still changing the way we build, the way we think, the way we see.Enlivened with speech bubbles and full of memorable facts, this thoroughly engaging intro to the history and STEAM applications of glass is fortified with a bibliography in the back matter.
