Description
Plastics are high-performance materials of wide use in the built environment. A broad range of form-giving and finishing processes make plastic especially interesting for complex geometries in combination with digital planning processes. Following the pioneering plastic structures of the 1970s, a number of spectacular buildings have in recent years highlighted the outstanding technical and aesthetic potential of the material.
This book is a systematic treatment of the use of plastic in architecture. It introduces the material and its specific characteristics, describes various types of plastic in terms of their relevance for building, explains processing technologies and presents typical products and components. 25 international built projects are organized by the type of application and the plastic involved to document the broad range of plastic in architecture.
