Materiality is a recurring and central issue in architecture. This
book explains how materials are "constructed", how they become
cultural substances. Metamorphism investigates the complex
relationship between natural materials and technology, science and
sensuality. Gottfried Semper (1803-1879) made the notion of
Stoffwechsel the key element of his theory. With this concept he
intended to explain how a structural form originally bound to a
method of processing is transferred from one material to another,
liberated from its original function. For the first time, the book
investigates the subject from a historic point of view whilst
reflecting on current interdisciplinary research. Examples from
Aalto to Zumthor illustrate the specific aspects of historic and
contemporary material concepts.
