Materials in Architecture

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Materials in Architecture presents the finest work being done by today's architects, with special emphasis on beauty and surface. The results are stunning and this publication sets a new standard. We include the five major materials-WOOD, GLASS, STONE, CONCRETE and STEEL, and showcase how the different materials endow the structure with aesthetics and functional values. For the five categories, we invite five architecture studios adept in their particular practice and experience with the aforementioned materials. Each discusses the material from an architect's perspective, with an eye to innovation. In each project, we analyze the factors that drive the architects to choose a specific material and the process involved in exploring its potential. These factors encompass the environment, the landscape, the purpose of the building, and the design philosophy.
