Description

Today, architects and designers are beginning to look toward developments in new "smart" or "intelligent" materials and technologies for solutions to long-standing problems in building design. However, these new materials have so far been applied in a diverse but largely idiosyncratic nature, because relatively few architects have access to information about the types or properties of these new materials or technologies. Two of the leading experts in this field - Addington and Schodek - have solved this problem by incorporating all the relevant information of all the latest technologies available to architects and designers in this one volume. They present materials by describing their fundamental characteristics, and go on to identify and suggest how these same characteristics can be exploited by professionals to achieve their design goals. Here, the wealth of technical understanding already available in the materials science and engineering literature is at last made accessible to a design audience.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述

如今,建築師和設計師開始關注新型「智能」或「智慧」材料和技術的發展,以解決建築設計中長期存在的問題。然而,這些新材料迄今為止在應用上多種多樣,但主要是因為相對較少的建築師能夠獲取有關這些新材料或技術類型或特性的信息。這個領域的兩位領先專家 - Addington 和 Schodek - 通過將建築師和設計師所需的所有最新技術的相關信息納入這一卷書中,解決了這個問題。他們通過描述材料的基本特性來介紹這些材料,並進一步指出和建議專業人士如何利用這些特性來實現他們的設計目標。在這裡,材料科學和工程文獻中已經存在的豐富技術理解終於對設計界讀者開放。
