Construction + Materiality also takes a look at the future of construction and materiality in architecture, paying particular attention to issues of sustainability and innovation. Supported by examples from both classic and contemporary architects who have championed the use of the materials under discussion, and whose work is very much characterised by the application of its principles, Construction + Materiality provides an invaluable resource tool for students and architectural professionals alike. It offers an accessible introduction for anyone interested in architectural design and material application. Other titles in AVA’s Basics Architecture series include Representational Techniques, History and Precedent and Sustainable Architecture.
