Material Design: Informing Architecture by Materiality
Contribuţii de James Carpenter Autor Thomas Schröpfer Contribuţii de Sheila Kennedy, Liat Margolis, Toshiko Mori, Nader Tehrani, Peter Yeadonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 oct 2010
The featured design strategies and methods address established and "new" materials alike. They are applied both to the scale of the detail and the entire building. The examples comprise prototype structures as well as large building projects.
Nine chapters deal with surfaces and layers, joints and juctions, weaving and texturing, nanoscale transformations, responsiveness, the integration of ephemeral factors like wind and light as well as material collections providing professional resources. Written by reknowned experts in this field, the book features many examples from international contemporary architecture.
The introductory part provides the conceptual background, while a final chapter describes consequences for pressing issues of today, like sustainability or life cycle assessment.
