Fabrication - Fabrication - The Designers Guide the illustrated works of twelve specialist UK fabricators (Paperback)

Packed with stunning images taken by photographer Alastair Thain, this is an indispensable visual guide illustrating and explaining contemporary fabrication processes and material transformation. Providing a documentary of the latest developments in fabrication techniques, this is the ideal reference for designers who wish to learn more about the materials and new technologies in material production available to them. Featuring the work of 20 fabricators based in the UK, the case studies displayed range from manufacture of complex wire rope, the processes of metal spinning, large-scale composite casting, to computer controlled sheet steel fabrication. With a full knowledge of how the materials are produced, backed up by examples of how these have been used in contemporary architectural design, this book provides readers with a greater ability to select material for their own designs and to better understand how materials fit' together. This is a book that provides both information on the latest technology and design inspiration in abundance.
