Abstract

A tie-in to major exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Art offers a comprehensive survey of the new fluidity of modern design, a style that emphasizes a turn away from hard edges and angles to celebrate an amorphic, organic, and curvaceous design.

Abstract

Until recently, analysis of the future was left to forecasters and trend experts. Today, however, designers and architects are playing an increasingly important role, creating products and environments that will change the way we live. Design Futures is a thought-provoking exploration of the radical directions that the creative industries are taking. Design expert Bradley Quinn reveals how a new generation of products, materials and surfaces will align design with such areas as artificial intelligence, genetic engineering and nanotechnology, reinventing the spaces in which we live and work, and how we experience the human body. Featuring interviews with renowned designers, architects and trend forecasters – among them Karim Rashid, Toyo Ito and Li Edelkoort – and over 250 illustrations of futuristic products and concepts, this is a unique guide to some of the twenty-first century’s most compelling ideas.

Abstract

Without high-tech building materials the modern structures of today's architecture would be inconceivable and unbuildable. Made of ... presents a wide range of the innovative building materials that are currently being developed, as well as their applications for today's architecture. Made of ... introduces architects to new approaches to sophisticated building concepts that are made possible by the use of high-tech building materials. In each chapter for example Reinforced, Glass Fibers, Carbon Fibers, Natural Fibers, Sandwiches, Honeycombs, and Foams the qualities of a new material are explained and evaluated. Their applications are not only explained in insightful texts, but also clarified in images of current architectural projects that use them. Today, the demands on a building in terms of sustainability, energy efficiency, and security are constantly rising. A structure also has to address the social aspects of those who use it and be immune to the pollutants that attack its surface. At the same time, the demands on building materials are also rising, as are those on the architects who use them. Made of ... gives architects both inspiration and practical advice as to how they can work with innovative building materials today in a way that is also viable for the future. -- Book Description from Website.
