Description
Glass by John Garrison This beautifully designed book offers a fresh perspective on an everyday object that's often overlooked: glass. From the windows in your home to the screens you use every day, glass is all around us. John Garrison draws connections between historical depictions of glass and its potential for new forms of interaction. By exploring how we've come to see glass as a transparent material, he reveals surprising insights into our increasingly glass-based world. Published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic, Glass is the latest addition to the Object Lessons series, which explores the hidden lives of ordinary things.
