Infraleve, Cuando el vidrio renovó la idea límite - Daniel Nadal

The appearance of glass in architecture, explored from projects that envisaged a new materiality, like the towers for the Friedrichstrasse by Mies van der Rohe, the Danteum glass columns by Guiseppe Terragni or the Monument to six million Jewish martyrs by Louis I. Kahn, meant the discovery of a new idea of limit.

This book goes through those concepts that transformed their meaning renewing the conceptual basis of contemporary architecture. The incorporation into architecture of poetic values that the artistic vanguards of the twentieth century found in glass implied the revision of classic ideas such as horizon, matter and time, ultimately affecting the very experience of architectonic space and the recognition systems of the man that inhabits it. Thus, the author invites us to discover the conceptual legacy of those architects that were involved in the construction of this dreamy limit.
