Synopsis
Materials technology is the single most important agent of change in our entire designed landscape, from the buildings in which we live and work to the clothes we wear. This volume features carefully selected products that showcase the innovative use of a particular material. The book focuses on specific categories of products - grown materials, surface fortification, advanced composites, additive manufacturing media, recycled materials and the integration of electricity. The coverage of the projects is extensive, from medical equipment to clothing, with materials ranging from hemp and kelp to titanium and biocomposite glass fibres. Six specially commissioned 'visual narratives' by experts in the field are included. The extensive illustrated materials directory contains detailed information on almost 100 materials. The series is being produced in association with Material ConneXion, a materials consultancy agency with unparalleled expertise in innovative and sustainable materials. Its materials library of advanced, innovative and sustainable materials and processes is the largest of its kind in the world. With a preface by Michele Caniato, the President of Material ConneXion, and an introduction by Allan Chochinov, Chair and Co-founder of the School of Visual Arts MFA in Products of Design Program in New York, the texts are authoritative and yet also accessible. Clearly structured and illustrated with carefully selected images throughout, this book will connect material to reader and will inspire both students and professionals to pursue the optimal material for each specific application., This volume on product design presents carefully selected products that showcase the innovative use of a particular material. The authors focus on specific product categories that include grown materials, surface fortification, advanced composites, additive manufacturing media, recycled materials, and the integration of electricity.

The materials employed in each project are cross-referenced to an extensive illustrated materials directory containing detailed information on almost 100 materials--from hemp and kelp to titanium and biocomposite glass fibers., A first title in the ambitious series that identifies and examines the innovative materials that are transforming art, design, and technology practice

    The item was exactly as described, in great shape! The seller posted a video of the train set running on the track, which cinched the deal for me. Then the seller quickly shipped with excellent packaging that protected all the pieces and parts. I'm so happy to add this to my 1988 set which my 3 grandsons are enjoying. Seller also was gracious and positive in communication. I highly recommend!!
