Summary:
"Radical Matter: Revolutionary Materials and Design for a Sustainable Future" presents the ten “Big Ideas” that will shape and inform the choices of materials, design methods, and manufacturing processes made by designers in the years to come. Drawing from a worldwide community of designers who are pushing boundaries with innovative works that go beyond the notion of “sustainable design,” "Radical Matter" demonstrates how holistic systems of design, production, and consumption will benefit our world environmentally, socially, and economically. The ten “Big Ideas” unpack the themes that are impacting our material world through cutting-edge case studies and expert opinions: Repair Is Beautiful; Today’s Trash, Tomorrow’s Raw Material; Natural Assets; The Waste Revolution; Lessons from the Past; Co-Creation; Material Connections; Short Life Materials; Living Materials; and Future Mining.

Summary:
Un des plus grands défis de notre temps est de densifier et de perfectionner, de manière qualitative, les structures architecturales dejà existantes. Or le mode de construction le plus pérenne consiste à restaurer et perpétuer le bâti. La reconstruction et le développement de nouveaux concepts ne sont plus une question d'idéalisme, mais de ressources et d'économie. Les(...)

La reconstruction et le développement de nouveaux concepts ne sont plus une question d'idéalisme, mais de ressources et d'économie. Les extensions les plus judicieuses sont à même d'accroître les qualités de ce qui est déjà, sans en réduire l'effet. La surélévayion du bâti constitue, en matière de redensification urbaine, la stratégie la plus exigeante.

Pour autant, ces « icônes » semblent ne plus pouvoir véritablement servir de modèles : les rêves d’architecture sont désormais entravés par des réglementations de plus en plus pointues en matière de protection incendie, de physique du bâtiment et d’énergie. Ce livre analyse les conditions dans lesquelles l’emploi de l’acier peut apporter une valeur ajoutée à la construction immobilière. Outre les trois exemples emblématiques mentionnés, neuf ouvrages métalliques contemporains, réalisés par des bureaux suisses et internationaux, sont présentés ici avec de nombreux plans et photographies.

Summary:
A building's façade sets the aesthetic tone for its entire design while serving a variety of functions, from regulating light and protecting against the elements to providing insulation for temperature and sound. This book details hundreds of examples of interesting and progressive façades from around the world. Presented in double-page spreads, each façade is photographed from different angles and includes texts that describe their significance. Readers can learn how traditional mashrabiyas in Abu Dhabi are being engineered to respond to light and to regulate heat, how a hospital in Mexico City has been constructed with "smog-eating" tiles, and how a "bio-adaptive" façade in Germany uses algae to generate energy and provide shade. Informative and accessible, this compendium is a highly useful resource for architects, engineers, and designers.

With only eight chapters, it eloquently yet succinctly offers a well-grounded overview of the latest material innovations, including edible packaging, liquid light, and intelligent natural materials. New materials are constantly triggering major changes in society, the environment, and technology. Today, 70% of all product innovations are attributed to new findings in materials science and a new generation of products is emerging that exploits new functionality made possible by materials research.

Since the introduction of steel as a building material in the early twentieth century, its superior performance has challenged conventional wisdom about construction, enabling designs of surprising lightness and span. Steel offered the opportunity to significantly expand buildings vertically and thus emerged as a symbol of the conflict between technological progress and the architectural ideal. More recently, the use of exposed steel elements in modern architecture ushered in a rediscovery of buildings’ metamorphoses. From the Eames House in Los Angeles to the Hôtel Tassel in Brussels and the Maison de Verre in Paris, "At Home in Steel" celebrates the use of steel in residential architecture.
