Résumé:
The use of smart materials in architecture is a dynamic and innovative area merging research, development, and use. Smart materials, with their reversible characteristics, respond to stimuli such as light, temperature, and electrical field by changing their form, color, viscosity, etc. One of the most fascinating developments is the advent of Phase Change Materials. These materials make it possible, for example, to develop self-acting, kinetic facades and wallpaper that changes its color and pattern based on temperature and light. The book presents the development of these materials and also describes their use in the contexts of architecture, design, and art. It offers a systematic overview with a detailed discussion of properties, technologies, products, and projects based on twenty groups of smart materials.

Ce premier livre d’une série d’ouvrages monographiques sur des projets de h2o architectes revient sur la construction d’un immeuble de 32 logements situé dans le 15e arrondissement à Paris, qui comporte des façades en pierre de taille de 24 cm d’épaisseur. Sans cuisson ni mélange, la pierre permet de diminuer les émissions de CO2 de 60% par rapport au béton, concernant le chantier, et de 35% sur un cycle de vie de 50 ans. L’agence h2o architectes réussit à démontrer que la pierre massive, matériau géosourcé, représente une alternative économique équivalente à des solutions plus courantes, tout en offrant une qualité de prestation supérieure.

Résumé:
This volume summarises the results of 'The Aesthetics of Sustainability', a research project led by ECAL/Ecole cantonale d`art de Lausanne. It brought together master students of product design, established materials specialists, manufacturers, and researchers with the aim of exploring and defining the aesthetic potential of a new generation of sustainable materials. The result is a series of fourteen case studies involving the development of materials made from textile waste, recycled paper, rubber granulate, or vegetable fibres. The resulting new materials can be shaped, pressed, woven, or welded. A selection of these materials will be presented through experiments and prototypes of products.

Résumé:
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.
