In fact, transparency and lightness are two important factors in modern architecture and over the last years, glass has become a main architectural element particularly in the design of contemporary public buildings in many cities around the world (Vidler, 2003) ]]> 2016-12-23 10:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144733659 https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734188 glass and steel construction techniques of nineteenth-century greenhouses, exhibition pavilions, and floras

In optics, transparency refers to a material that transmits light so that we can see through it. In architecture, this usually translates into the use of glass as the primary building material, but other materials are also transparent, such as crystal or �nely woven and diaphanous fabrics, or lattice screens. ]]> 2016-12-23 10:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734350 industrial revolution https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734506 2016-12-23 10:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734506 19th century, https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734513 C19, nineteenth century 1800]]> 2016-12-23 10:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734513 Victorian https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734579 2016-12-23 10:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734579 British empire https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734598 2016-12-23 10:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734598 Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734615 2016-12-23 10:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734615 Great Exhibition https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734629 2016-12-23 10:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734629 Public Health Act https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734635 2016-12-23 10:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734635 municipal parks openings https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734648 2016-12-23 10:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734648 bridges and railways https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734720 2016-12-23 10:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734720 scientific advancements Charles Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species'- after crystal palace opens https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734763 2016-12-23 10:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734763 educational reform https://padlet.com/squirek/gaonc9goleal/wish/144734799 Reform leaders worked to establish public school systems that any child could attend, regardless of gender, race, or family income.

Its construction was modelled on that of the Crystal Palace and it is one of the oldest surviving examples of a pre-fabricated iron-frame building. It turned out that the structure was leaky, fluctuated highly in temperature and the roof had almost rusted away by the time it was dismantled – in other words, not the ideal museum storage facility!
