Plastics are high-performance materials of wide use in the built environment. Their versatile technical properties are particularly fascinating.A broad range of form-giving and finishing processes makes plastic especially interesting for complex geometries in combination with digital planning processes. Following the pioneering plastic structures of the 1970s, a number of spectacular buildings have in recent years highlighted the outstanding technical and aesthetic potential of the material. Until now, however, there has been no systematic treatment of the use of plastic in architecture. This book fills that gap by providing an introduction to the structural and design possibilities of plastic. It introduces the material and its specific characteristics, describes various types of plastic in terms of their relevance for building, explains processing technologies and presents typical products and components. A concise presentation of twenty-five international built projects - organized by the type of application and the plastic involved - documents the broad range of plastic in architecture. Finally, a look ahead at the future describes the current state of the art in materials research.

ETFE foil has recently become an important material for the cladding of technologically sophisticated and innovative buildings. This material is very thin and lightweight and, when used in air-filled cushion assemblies, has enormous strength and a range of adaptive environmental attributes. ETFE cushion enclosures became known primarily through Grimshaw Architects' Eden Project and Herzog + de Meuron's Allianz Arena, and they are being used on the spectacular swimming stadium for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, the largest ETFE building envelope in the world so far. This book is conceived as an in-depth introduction to the characteristics of ETFE and its applications in construction. Project examples explore in detail the specific characteristics of ETFE building skins in the areas of structural behavior, light transmission, insulation, acoustics, fire engineering and environmental modification. In funktional und technologisch anspruchsvollen und innovativen Gebäudeentwürfen hat die Verwendung von ETFE-Folien in jüngster Zeit große Bedeutung erlangt. Dieses Folienmaterial ist von erstaunlicher Dünnheit bei enormer Reißfestigkeit und ist zum Teil leichter als die Luft, die es umschließt. Bekannt geworden ist das Material vor allem durch das Eden Project von Nicholas Grimshaw und die Allianz Arena von Herzog & de Meuron. Derzeit im Bau ist das spektakuläre Schwimmstadion für die Olympischen Spiele 2008 in Beijing - die bislang weltweit größte ETFE-Struktur.Das Buch ist als fundiertes Grundlagenwerk konzipiert, das sowohl Materialeigenschaften wie technologische und konstruktive Verwendungsmöglichkeiten grundsätzlich und umfassend vermittelt. Ausführlich geht die Autorin auf die Spezifika von ETFE in Bezug auf Lichtdurchlässigkeit, Dämmeigenschaften, Akustik, Brandschutz und ökologische Verträglichkeit ein. Ebenso stellt sie anhand von zahlreichen Projektbeispielen Entwurfslösungen vor.
