MATERIAL INNOVATION PRODUCT DESIGNMATERIAL INNOVATION
is an ambitious new series identifying and examining the new and
innovative materials that are transforming art, design and technology
practice. This volume features carefully selected products that showcase the
innovative use of a particular material, focusing on specific categories
of products – grown materials, surface fortification, advanced
composites, additive manufacturing media, recycled materials and the
integration of electricity. 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. The coverage of the projects is extensive, from medical equipment to
clothing, with materials ranging from hemp and kelp to titanium and
biocomposite glass fibres. Six specially commissioned ‘visual
narratives’ by experts in the field are included. The extensive
illustrated materials directory contains detailed information on almost
100 materials. |
