About this book

New trends in material development

New materials and technologies play a significant role in architecture and design. Environmentally compatible materials and production methods are demanded just as much as smoothly functioning recycling management. In addition, trends like digitalization, 3D printing and intelligent systems and materials have a decisive influence on material innovations.
The book’s eight chapters span a bridge from science and industrial research to applications in architecture and design. In a compact format, it offers a well-grounded overview of the latest material innovations, including edible packaging, liquid light and intelligent natural materials. At the same time, the societal dimension of such developments is taken into consideration.

The most important trends for a host of new material developments in the fields of architecture and design

An up-to-date appraisal with well-grounded, useful information

By the author of the successful books Material Revolution 1 and 2

Reviews

"Das Buch schlägt in acht Kapiteln die Brücke von Wissenschaft und industrieller Forschung hin zu Anwendungen in Architektur und Design. Es bietet in einem handlichen Format einen fundierten Überblick über die aktuellen Werkstoffinnovationen wie etwa essbare Verpackungen. flüssiges Licht oder smarte Naturmaterialien. Zugleich wird die gesellschaftliche Dimension solcher Entwicklungen in den Blick genommen."
