Description

Book Synopsis

A stunning visual journey into the synthesis of art and engineering in the contemporary glass architecture of Hugh Dutton. This book features detailed notes on the design philosophies and processes that define Dutton's practice, alongside four 'gem' projects that redefine and reflect on how light, structure, and sustainability converge in the twenty-first century.

From the architect and engineer behind luminous glass structures at the Louvre, diamond vitrines in Tiffany & Co., reflective footbridges in Hong Kong, and Miami's Climate Ribbon canopy comes an intimate look at projects where glass becomes sculpture, engineering is art, and sustainability drives innovation.

Through photography, diagrams, archival images, and Dutton's own distinctive concept drawings, Dutton reveals his lifelong fascination with light, demonstrating how nature-inspired design and advanced numerical design tools can combine to create structures that are both visually breathtaking and environmentally responsive.
