Nach dem Erfolg von Material Revolution 1 und 2 legt der Autor einen neues Buch vor, das der rasanten Entwicklung der Materialforschung in handlicher Form noch besser Rechnung trägt. Materials in Progress stellt die aktuellen Werkstoffinnovationen der letzten Jahre im Kontext von acht Megatrends vor und macht ihren Einfluss auf die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung anschaulich. U.a.: duftende Kacheln, heilende Fasern, Textilien aus Brennnesseln. New materials and technologies play a significant role in architecture and design. Environmentally compatible materials and production methods are demanded just as much as smoothly functioning recycling management. In addition, trends like digitalization, 3D printing and intelligent systems and materials have a decisive influence on material innovations.The book’s eight chapters span a bridge from science and industrial research to applications in architecture and design. In a compact format, it offers a well-grounded overview of the latest material innovations, including edible packaging, liquid light and intelligent natural materials. At the same time, the societal dimension of such developments is taken into consideration.
