It begins with an overview of current global tendencies (technological, demographic, and socio-anthropological) and their relevance for architectural design. Expanding upon approaches for flexible design solutions to address change and uncertainty, Dr. Kretzer begins by exploring adaptive architecture and proceeds to introduce the topic of ?information materials,? which encompasses smart and functional materials, their current usage, and their potential for the creation of future spaces. The second chapter provides a comprehensive overview of architectural materials, past and present, split into the topics: natural, industrial, synthetic, digital, and information materials. Chapter three introduces an educational approach for the mediation of information material usage in design courses and student workshops. The final section provides detailed information on a range of emerging material phenomena, including aerogels, bioluminescence, bio plastics, dye-sensitized solar cells, electroluminescent displays, electroactive polymers, soft robotics, and thermochromics. Each section explains its respective history, working principles, fabrication and (potential) usage in architecture and design, and provides hands-on tutorials on how to self-produce these materials, and displays class-tested experimental installations. The book concludes with an outlook into the domain of synthetic biology and the prospects of a ?living? architecture. It is ideal for students of structural materials engineering, architecture, and urban planning; professionals working these in areas, as well as materials science/engineering and architecture educators. Imparts a comprehensive but concise historical overview of material usage in architecture; Provides an explanation of an educational methodology to mediate new material usage; Describes a detailed scientific display of various emerging materials; Illustrates step-by-step instructions to self-produce a range of smart materials; Features a display of various speculative installations challenging the use of emerging materials in a design context. 606 $aStructural materials 606 $aBuildings 606 $aBuildings?Design and construction 606 $aBuilding 606 $aConstruction 606 $aEngineering, Architectural 606 $aBuilding materials 606 $aTechnical education 606 $aStructural Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000 606 $aBuilding Types and Functions$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K13004 606 $aBuilding Construction and Design$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012 606 $aBuilding Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23047 606 $aEngineering/Technology Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O43000 615 0$aStructural materials. 615 0$aBuildings. 615 0$aBuildings?Design and construction. 615 0$aBuilding. 615 0$aConstruction. 615 0$aEngineering, Architectural. 615 0$aBuilding materials. 615 0$aTechnical education. 615 14$aStructural Materials. 615 24$aBuilding Types and Functions. 615 24$aBuilding Construction and Design. 615 24$aBuilding Materials. 615 24$aEngineering/Technology Education. 676 $a620.11 700 $aKretzer$b Manuel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0767502 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254154303321 996 $aInformation Materials$91562547 997 $aUNINA
