| In this unusual book both established and progressive new architects present their most innovative roof designs as expressive and functional structures. No longer limited to providing protection from the weather, roofs today are open to many interpretations, such as acting as a filter for light or conjugated with a facade to form an unusual binomial. In Roofs, architects and builders experiment with many different materials and many structural alternatives including traditional flat or sloping roofs. The book is illustrated with photographs, plans, and construction details. |
