Description

In recent years plastic has moved from a supporting role to being a new star among construction materials. Of the over 50 different types of plastics in existence, each one has something different to offer. It is versatile, light-weight, flexible and moisture resistant; it can be colourful, clear or opaque and is practically unbreakable. Plastics can be usedat a variety of scales from selected decorative elements to whole construction units.

The recent innovations in this field have inspired designers and architects to experiment with thenumerous properties of plastics. Pure Plastic is a richly illustrated volumefeaturingover 60of the most impressive projects presenting a creative use of plastic and synthetic compositesfrom all over the world.
