The approach of Informing Architecture by Materiality opens the way to an innovative use of materials in the design professions. Taking material qualities and properties such as texture, elasticity, transparency and fluidity as a point of departure, the concept described and employed here transcends the conventional definitions of building materials. Instead, the focus is on a multitude of material operations, like folding and bending, carving and cutting, weaving and knitting, mirroring and screening. 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.

Patterns in Design examines this new trend, illustrating it with work by design luminaries like Hella Jongerius, Tord Moontje, Michael Lin, Olaf Nicolai, and Sauebruch and Hutton.

Dostępność:na zamowienie * Provides a response by practicing landscape architects to Thomas Sieverts’s concept of urban sprawl * Gives indispensable coverage necessary for a deeper understanding of contemporary trends in landscape architecture and city planning Landscape architecture is a discipline that can bring order to the chaos of contemporary urbanism.
