| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Abstract, etc | With perspectives gained from history, philosophy and design, this work examines the forces that have shaped material practices in architecture. Going beyond a technical analysis, these essays consider building materials as an expression of a variety of influences on their use, fabrication and meaning. By paying critical attention to material, a wide range of issues emerge in this book which are otherwise excluded from architectural discourse - issues that shape and determine the buildings we make, the processes we use and the ways we understand them<br/> |
