EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND HOUSING PROTOTYPES

Emerging Technologies and Housing Prototypes is an extensive guide to new materials and processes being used and developed for the building industry. Featuring prototypes already in the first stages of manufacture, alongside more conceptual speculative designs, this is a glimpse into the future of architecture.

Emerging Technologies and Housing Prototypes is an exploration of the latest materials and technologies that are currently being developed for the building industry. Packed with dazzling photographs and computer-generated images of these new materials and the manufacturing processes involved in their production, Emerging Technologies and Housing Prototypes gives a fascinating vision of the future of housing architecture. This affordable reference contains essays from a variety of contributors, from their own areas of interest and work, including sustainability and the new concept of "urban nomadism." Emerging Technologies and Housing Prototypes also comprises profiles of each material and technology considered, with details of their properties and potential applications. In addition contact details of the manufacturers like 3M, GE, Dupont are presented, making this a practical pocket-sized guide for students, architects, engineers and scientists.
