Description and Table of Contents

Description

- Explores spatial transparency as a form of spatial continuity that articulates depth through permeable, layered or porous three-dimensional organizations - Divided into four parts: spatial transparency in massive opaque constructions, spatial transparency in light constructions, spatial transparency in glass assemblies and spatial transparency in hybrid systems - Presents 20 international case studies and examples, including those from the UK, Europe, North America, South America, India, China and Japan - Includes over 150 illustrations to explore significant built works, analytical drawings and comparison charts
