Der Glasbau ist eines der innovativsten und abwechslungsreichsten Gebiete der Baukonstruktion. Glas verbindet Außen- und Innenräume - gleichzeitig schützt es den Innenraum vor der Außenwelt. Die konstruktiven Möglichkeiten des Materials reichen weit über klassische Fensterkonstruktionen hinaus. So verfügen spezielle Gläser über erstaunliche physikalische Eigenschaften und lassen sich so vielfältig und kreativ einsetzen.Themen: Baustoff Glas Verarbeitung und Veredelung Anwendungsbereiche Konstruktionsarten Anschlüsse / Befestigungen
