In our Summer Edition of 2021, the authors delve into the complex nature of collaboration when designing, engineering and building some of the world’s most innovative structures. Opened by renowned architect James Carpenter, you will be privy to the collaborative efforts and experimental spirit of the modernist vanguards in glass, architectural design, and façade engineering. It will be clear that the meeting of minds, expertise, and knowledge is fundamental, to not only the delivery of projects but the much-needed development of technology, sustainable solutions, and engineering marvels that define the trajectory of modern architecture. Indeed, collaboration is not limited to the ‘interhuman’ but also the materials we choose to explore and deploy, and technology that has defined modern glass architecture.
