About this title

Synopsis

Today’s innovative architecture would be inconceivable and unbuildable without the rapid development of new building materials and technologies. Against this background Made Of… not only presents unconventional approaches to the use of materials in architecture and design but also describes the current state of research and rediscovered technologies. The book is an inspirational reference for everyone who is looking for a specific material, who would like to expand their design palettes with further cutting-edge possibilities, or who can use an overview of current developments in this area.
