In this second edition of Material Strategies in Digital
Fabrication are new case studies, improved wayfinding, the
inclusion of composites and plastics, and references to similar
strategies between different projects. In 400 step-by-step diagrams
dissecting 39 case studies in 10 countries on 3 continents, the
book shows you how material performance drives the digital
fabrication process and determines technique. The book identifies
the important characteristics of each material, including
connection types, relative costs, deformation, color, texture,
finish, dimensional properties, durability, and weathering and
waterproofing to link design outcomes to form. The book is divided
into five main chapters by material; wood, metal, concrete/masonry,
composites/plastics, and recycled/pre-cycled, to help you reference
construction techniques for the fabrication machines you have
on-hand. Includes projects by SHoP Architects, Gramazio &
Kohler, Schindlersalmeron, The Institute for Computational Design
(Achim Menges, Patkau Architects,Sebastien Wierinck, Blue Dot
Furniture, Marble Fairbanks, Studio Gang Architects,
