dc.description.abstractStained glass occupies a conjunction between glass painting as art and windows as architectural components. Originating as a form of painting, it was an integrated element in the architectural design of gothic cathedrals. Paintings and windows diverged over centuries while stained glass largely became added decoration until the time of the arts and crafts movement, when certain architects re-embraced it, designing their own glass decoration. This architectural awareness of the potential of art glass eventually led, on the one hand, to the first conceptual integration of glass art and architecture since the middle ages, and on the other hand to the emancipation of glass art from architecture, generating new three-dimensional techniques which can again be introduced into buildings. This article outlines different types of creative relationships between artists, architects and glaziers and briefly looks at some of the possibilities being explored in glass art within architecture.en_US
dc.description.abstractLes vitraux-peints comme rendez-vous entre l’art et l’architecture: Les vitraux-peints ont leur demeure dans la peinture et dans l’architecture, comme fenêtre. Peinture d’origine, elle s’est intégrée dans l’architecture des cathédrales gotiques. D’après, la peinture et l’architecture se sont séparées, pendant que les vitraux sont devenus décorations ajoutées jusqu’au temps des «arts and crafts», quand certaines des architectes avaient encore découvert des vitraux peints, en dessinant leur propre décoration. Cette savoir du potentiel du verre avait, comme résultat, à l’un coté la première intégration de l’architecture et du vitrail dés le moyen âge, et à l’autre, l’émancipation du vitrail de l’architecture, en créant des nouvelles méthodes à trois dimensions, qui peuvent se présenter à l’architecture de nouveau. Cette article définit des parentés créatrices entre des architectes, des artistes et des vitriers et considère, en bref, des exemples courants de l’art de verre dans l’architecture.en_US
