MATERIAL INNOVATION ARCHITECTURE
A first title in the ambitious new series that identifies and examines
the innovative materials that are transforming art, design, and
technology practice
Materials technology is the single most important
agent of change in our entire designed landscape, from the buildings in
which we live and work to the clothes we wear. This volume on
architecture features carefully selected buildings that showcase the
innovative use of a particular material. The book focuses on specific
categories of materials and features an extensive range of projects,
from the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision to the Ordos Art and
City Museum in Mongolia. The materials employed in each project are
cross referenced to an extensive illustrated directory featured in the
book, and the texts are authoritative yet accessible. Clearly structured
and illustrated with carefully selected images throughout, this book
will connect material to reader and will inspire both students and
professionals to pursue the optimal material for each specific
application.
