Summary:

In Transmaterial Next, architect and materials expert Blaine Brownell compiles more than one hundred groundbreaking products and processes that will shape our world, Including a solid that's lighter than air, metal latticework so delicate it can rest on a dandelion, insulation made from processed seaweed, and self-generating microbial glue that repairs cracks in concrete. Through these innovations, Brownell engages both the leading edge and practical implementation of materials to identify emerging trends and applications that will revolutionize the technological capacity, environmental performance, and design potential of architecture. Transmaterial Next is an essential compendium for architects, designers, and other creative professionals who are passionate about materials and wish to engage in a deeper consideration of their broader implications and possibilities.
