The transparent, translucent, and semi-opaque materials as structural elements book. Elspeth Pridham has written the definitive book for the inspired use of clear and frosted glass, plain and patterned plastics, sheer, translucent fabrics and grid structures as structural elements to create divisions, or link one space to another, as well as ready-to-buy accessories. The book is organized by different types of materials; glass, fiberglass, acrylic, paper, polycarbonate, etc., and examines the composition and manufacture of the material and the various products that are commercially available. There are also examples from designers Issey Miyake, Philippe Starck, Azumi and Joel Berman showing how the material is applied. Publisher is Mitchell Beazley. 160 pages, 150 color photos, $26.57 at Amazon.
