Language: English Publisher: New York, NY : Princeton Architectural Press , [2012]Copyright date: c2012Edition: 1st editionDescription: 159 pages ; color illustrations ; 22 cmContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781568989860 (alkaline paper)Subject(s): Building materials -- Technological innovations | Architecture -- Technological innovations -- Case studiesDDC classification: 721.04 LOC classification: TA403.6Summary: Publisher's synopsis: "In the increasingly speculative world of digital design and online architecture, Blaine Brownell is a bricks-and-mortar kind of guy. As founding principal of Transstudio, Brownell heads a firm dedicated to emergent materials research, specializing in the development of architecture focused on innovative uses of concrete, glass, wood, metal, and plastic. And in Material Strategies, the author of the Transmaterial series offers another necessary corrective to the field's digital enthusiasts: It's an ode to buildings blocky and chalky, friable, brassy, and glassy.... Material Strategies is intended not just to reacquaint architects with the nuts and bolts of architecture, but to insist, in the face of the field's digital enthusiasts, that innovation can come not just from a drafting program but from the latent potential found in concrete, glass, masonry, wood, metal, and plastic." --Surface.com| Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
