"Main description: The approach of Material Design opens the way to an innovative use of materials in the design professions. Taking material qualities and properties such as texture, elasticity and transparency as a point of departure, the book describes a multitude of material operations, like folding and bending, carving and cutting, weaving and knitting, mirroring and screening."

""In this book, architects, landscape architects, and other designers discuss state of the art and project emerging trends in material design. Using an alternative approach premised on observation, speculation, and experimentation, a comprehensive view of today's and tomorrow's material technologies nd design methods is developed. Leading experts in the field provide detailed insights into the strategies of material design in architectural applications such as: aggregation, joints and junctions, weaving, modulation, ephemeral phenomena, responsive materials, materializations of nanotechnology, encoding.""
