Fill-In-Glass Restoration
Exploring Issues Of Compatibility For The Case Of Schaesberg Castle
This paper explores a novel restoration approach for consolidating historic structures using structural glass to substitute for the missing elements, preserving at the same time the structural integrity of the structure. A restoration design is proposed for the hypothetical conso

The potential of cast glass in structural applications
Lessons learned from large-scale castings and state-of-the art load-bearing cast glass in architecture
This paper investigates the potential of cast glass structural components in architectural applications. Initially, the commonly applied casting methods, glass types and mould types are discussed. To address both the possibilities and limitations in the size and form of cast g ...
Structural glass
A new remedial tool for the consolidation of historic structures
This research investigates the potential of glass as a new design tool to highlight and safeguard our historic structures. Current restoration and conservation treatments with traditional materials bear the risk of conjecture between the original and new elements, whereas the hig

Restorative Glass
Reversible, discreet restoration using structural glass components
The application of structural glass as the principal material in restoration and conservation practices is a distinguishable, yet discreet approach. The transparency of glass allows the simultaneous perception of the monument at both its original and present condition, preserving

Dry interlayers out of cast polyurethane rubber for interlocking cast glass structures
Experimental exploration and validation
A novel, reversible structural system comprising interlocking, dry-assembled cast glass components is currently being developed at the TU Delft Glass & Transparency Lab. This paper, in continuation of the research conducted by (Oikonomopoulou et al. 2018a), investigates the mecha

Reconstructing vaults 2.0
The potential of cast glass for reconstructing historical buildings
This thesis is about reconstructing historical vaults with cast glass. The vision is to design a complete dry-assembly cast glass arch vault where the Notre Dame de Paris is the chosen case study. The main question is: To what extent can a historical masonry arch vault be reconst
