SKYLIGHTING SCULPTURE When Texas entrepreneur Raymond Nasher asked for a "roofless museum" for his extensive sculpture collection, his architects and their consultants delivered a unique interpretation.

GLAZING FOR DAYLIGHT Windows and fenestration systems have undergone a technological revolution in recent years. Glazing systems are now available that can dramatically cut energy consumption and the associated pollution sources, reduce peak demand, enhance daylighting performance, and improve occupant comfort. But all these improvements have made windows more complex. A number of characteristics for glazing need to be understood to properly specify an appropriate fenestration system.
