Flachglasanwendungen um die Jahrhundertwende.

Glass constructions at the turn of the century The period of high modernism (ca. 1880–1970) goes hand in hand with technical developments of the industrial revolution, which leads from handicraft production to the industrial mass production of glass. The further development of manufacturing processes and the dimensions and qualities of the glass panes now available had a considerable influence on the development of glass constructions and profiles. Using selected examples, this article traces the development of flat glass applications from 1880 to 1920 in order to demonstrate changes in glass construction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
