Today, architects and designers are beginning to look toward
developments in new "smart" or "intelligent" materials and
technologies for solutions to long-standing problems in building
design. However, these new materials have so far been applied in a
diverse but largely idiosyncratic nature, because relatively few
architects have access to information about the types or properties
of these new materials or technologies. Two of the leading experts
in this field - Addington and Schodek - have solved this problem by
incorporating all the relevant information of all the latest
technologies available to architects and designers in this one
volume. They present materials by describing their fundamental
characteristics, and go on to identify and suggest how these same
characteristics can be exploited by professionals to achieve their
design goals. Here, the wealth of technical understanding already
available in the materials science and engineering literature is at
last made accessible to a design audience.
