The new smart surfaces expand considerably design possibilities for architects and designers. Their use leads to new typologies and concepts that can also do justice to changes in expectations for buildings and design.Smart Surfaces brings these design fields into the creative focus of planners and designers, and emphasizes concrete possibilities for applications. Planning fundamentals, including cost-benefit analyses, and questions related to building, including details of constructions, are presented in a clear and intelligible way.

Certains villages conservent encore leurs aires de battages et leurs ruelles caladées, tandis que dans les villes, les hôtels particuliers et les cours privées déploient leur richesse en de précieux tapis de pierres. En Italie, les ciottolati, mélange de galets noirs et blancs, recouvrent le parvis des églises tout comme en Grèce où ils prennent le nom de chochlakia. Depuis quelques années, de nombreuses créations publiques ou privées remettent à l’honneur ce savoir-faire que ce livre aborde sous deux angles complémentaires : une découverte typologique et historique des plus belles calades méditerranéennes ainsi que les règles de base pour réaliser soi-même un sol de pierre. Des dessins techniques et des photos illustrent avec précision chacun des gestes du caladeur.

The volume is conceived as a practical manual for design and planning. Dry construction in interior design employs "dry construction systems" in place of moisture-retaining materials such as concrete and plaster. Not only is this construction method cost-effective, since the full range of physical requirements, including thermal, cold, and sound insulation, fire safety, etc., can be satisfied.

Summary:
Materials for Interiors provides detailed and specific information on the use of appropriate materials in interior design. The book leads off with an overview of the range of available products for interior design, including large-format photographs of each material and interiors that use them. This is followed by detailed discussions of relevant aspects and production methods of the individual material groups, including selected examples. The processing of the materials is illustrated by production photographs from the construction site and numerous detail drawings. In the accompanying texts, expert planners who specialize in the various materials share their practical knowledge of how to use them. The technical articles and example projects focus on the surface of the material and how it is produced or comes to be and contain corresponding decision support for planners. Additional technical information on the materials used and a list of manufacturer and vendor addresses round out the volume.
