Postwar Modernism’s most defining element – the glass and aluminum curtain wall – is also its greatest vulnerability. Designed as thin, industrialized systems, these systems now face failure and potential demolition due to aging materials, poor performance, obsolescence, and rising environmental demands. Preserving them requires balancing building physics, heritage conservation, and real estate pressures.
Following a concise history of the modern curtain wall, this publication presents selected case studies – from 100 Park Avenue (Kahn & Jacobs, 1949) and the Pfizer Building (Emery Roth & Sons, 1961) in New York to Great Arthur House in London (Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, 1957) and the Rotterdam Library in the Netherlands (Van den Broek and Bakema, 1983) – and analyzes rehabilitation, overcladding, and replacement as primary intervention strategies for curtain wall renewal.

À propos de l’auteur
Uta Pottgiesser, PhD is Professor of Building Construction and Materials at the Detmold School of Design at OWL, University of Applied Sciences and Arts (TH OWL) in Germany and Professor of Heritage & Technology at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft in the Netherlands. From 2017 to 2019, she was Professor of Interior Architecture at the Faculty of Design Sciences at the University of Antwerp in Belgium. She has more than thirty years of experience as an academic in education and research, and as a practicing architect. In both roles, she is concerned with analyzing, protecting, adapting, and improving the built heritage and environment with a focus on 20th-century architecture. To advocate and promote awareness, she has been a member of DOCOMOMO Germany and, since 2008, DOCOMOMO International―where she served as Chair of the DOCOMOMO International Specialist Committee of Technology (ISC/T) from 2016 to 2022. Since 2022, she has been President of DOCOMOMO International representing more than 85 national working parties. As a member of the European Facade Network (efn) and cofounder of the international facade specialization within the Master of Integrated Design (MID) program at TH OWL, she actively promotes international exchange. Pottgiesser continues to be a reviewer and (co-)author of several international journal articles and publications with a focus on construction and conservation topics. She holds a professional degree as an architect (1993) and received her Diploma in Architecture (1991) from the TU Berlin, Germany. Her doctoral dissertation (2002) at the TU Dresden, Germany, was on the topic of “Multi-Layered Glass Constructions. Energy and Construction.”

Description de la boutique
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
