ArchitectureWeek Description
A textbook that bridges the gap between construction materials and design sensibility, teaching how a choice of material affects the form and look of a structure and how inspired design can inject any material with zeal. Sections on glass, wood, metals, plastics, and concrete consider each material's properties and offer case studies by contemporary architects. Amazon Customer Average Rating: 
Also available — Selected Architecture Posters and Prints
