Summary:
Nanotechnology is widely regarded as one of the twenty-first century's key technologies, and its economic importance is sharply on the rise. In architecture and the construction industry it has potentials that are already usable today, especially the coating of surfaces to lend them functional characteristics such as increased tensile strength, self-cleaning capacity, fire resistance, and others. Additives based on nanomaterials make common materials lighter, more permeable, and more resistant to wear. Nanomaterials are not only extremely useful for roofs and facades; they also expand design possibilities for interior and exterior rooms and spaces. Nano insulating materials open up new possibilities for ecologically oriented architects. In this book, with a foreword by nobel prize winner Harold Kroto, architects, interior designers and designers will find an introduction to the scientific background specifically tailored to their needs, a critical discussion of the advantages and limits of the technology, and above all a comprehensive presentation of sixteen characteristics and functions of nanomaterials that are specially relevant for building and design, illustrated by numerous international project examples.

The 21st century faces a radical change in how we produce construction materials – a shift towards cultivating, breeding, raising, farming, or growing future resources. This book presents innovative industrialized production methods for cultivated building materials, like cement grown by bacteria, bricks made of mushroom mycelium, or bamboo fibers as reinforcement for concrete. Spanning from scientific research to product development and architectural application, this book builds a bridge between the academic and the professional world of architecture. The book describes the challenges, strategies, and goals in the first part, followed by a second part on bamboo, A cultivated building material and a number of examples in the third part which form the bridge from cultivated materials to building products.

Virtually every revolution in architecture has been preceded by a revolution in materials: think iron, glass, steel, concrete, plastics, or composites. What is the next revolutionary material that will reshape the very nature of architecture?

Summary:
Les matériaux ont joué un rôle très important sur la genèse du modernisme. Ils ont été utilisés en fonction de leurs propriétés techniques pour réaliser des structures aux caractéristiques complexes et sans des exigences esthétiques. Le talent de nombreux architectes fut nécessaire pour découvrir le potentiel esthétique de ces matériaux. De nos jours, la situation est totalement différente. Les architectes ne doivent plus adapter leurs conceptions à quelques matériaux. Aujourd'hui ils sont très variés et disposent de propriétés faites sur mesure et il est même possible de commander la production de matériaux aux caractéristiques spécifiques. Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les principaux matériaux de constructions: le plastique, le bois, le verre, le béton et le métal. Toutes les caractéristiques spécifiques de chacun de ces matériaux sont expliquées de manière très précise au moyen de croquis, de tableaux et d'images, illustrant leur potentiel et capacités architecturales.

Le Centre de recherches sur les monuments historiques (CRMH) se devait donc d'étudier ce matériau et d'accompagner cette dynamique de reconquête patrimoniale. L'objectif de ce livre est d'élaborer une synthèse par typologie. L'étude conduite se concentre dans ce premier volume sur le plâtre architectural intérieur – sols et couvrements – du XIIIe au XIXe siècle. Il s'agit d'une publication technique, toutes typologies et régions confondues. La diversité des usages du plâtre conduira le lecteur des splendeurs de Vaux-le-Vicomte à la modestie de maisons rurales, en passant par une boutique parisienne…
