- Summary:
- The definitive illustrated book on the material of preference for a new generation of architects. Corrugated iron is a durable, biodegradable, and environmentally sound cladding system, sufficiently versatile to create one-off works of architectural sculpture and to house thousands in disaster zones. It answers the needs of both high-tech aesthetics and low-tech aspirations for affordability and ease of construction, as shown here in a wide range of residential, corporate, and industrial applications. 200 color and black-and-white photographs and drawings.
