Lead the change in responsible and creative material use.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a creative explosion of work taking place in architecture and design schools exploring materials such as mycelium, clay\/earth, engineered timber, bio-based plastics and algae. This handbook of low- and no-carbon materials for architects and designers focuses on sustainable materials, their sourcing, technical properties and the processes required for their use in architecture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book showcases new and rediscovered processes for material fabrication, responsible sourcing and creative material design. Material properties (structural, thermal, fire, health and life safety) are described and case studies from around the world illustrate the inventive ways in which these materials have been deployed in the built environment. The book is designed as an introduction to the exciting and rapidly changing world of construction materials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a better understanding of the social, environmental and economic sustainability of any given material - alongside its technical properties - students of architecture can lead the change in responsible and creative material use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Materials overview\u003cbr\u003e2 Extractive materials: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e earth and clay\u003cbr\u003e concrete\u003cbr\u003e stone\u003cbr\u003e metals\u003cbr\u003e glass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Grown materials:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e timber and cork\u003cbr\u003e paper\u003cbr\u003e hemp\u003cbr\u003e bamboo\u003cbr\u003e seaweed\u003cbr\u003e mycelium\u003cbr\u003e algae\u003cbr\u003e biopolymers\u003cbr\u003e wool\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41776079175777,"sku":"9781529433272","price":30.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_30546627.jpg?v=1728499636","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781529433272-sustainable-and-regenerative-materials-for-architecture","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
