Synopsis
The materials used in the construction of single-family residences are increasingly important and can even become the focal point of the construction. Advances in the composition, fabrication and application of materials allow for the creation of structures and forms that were unthinkable just a few decades ago. This volume displays residences constructed using metal, glass, wood, stone and concrete. What sets these homes apart is the predominant use of one material, a design decision arising from the original concept of the house. The book is organised into sections by the material concerned. Each project is explained with detailed plans, images and descriptive text.

Advances in the composition, fabrication and application of materials allows for the creation of structures and forms that were unthinkable just a few decades ago.

The singularity of these homes is marked by the predominant use of one material, which in turn is linked with the original concept of the house. This book shows today's trends in the use ofthese materials without forgetting their applications in the field of interior design and decoration.

Condition: Gut. 255 S.; zahlr. Illustr.; 24 cm; kart. Gutes Ex. - Englisch. - Construction materials have formed a part of mankind's development throughout history, providing shelter, both temporary and permanent. This book is divided into five chapters on the five principal materials used in construction - stone, wood, glass, metal and concrete - and it shows some residential projects in which the building materials are particularly important. The architecture works with a predominant material to create a home which is made to measure for the owners. Hopefully, in the future, new materials will become available which will reduce the costs of construction and its impact on the environment, as well as increasing the quality of the buildings and, of course, our quality of life.
