Abstract

In Italy between the two World War, transparent and traslucent surfaces became widespread in architecture, especially in the facade of buildings. The reasons lay not only in the new architectural vocabulary, but also economic, politcal and technical factors. The demand for transparent surfaces of larger dimensions led to new problems concerning safety, thermal insulation, the diffucion of light and the cost of glass based materials.
