Once regarded a secondary consideration, in recent years,
materiality has emerged as a powerful concept in architectural
discourse and practice. Prompted in part by developments in digital
fabrication and digital science, the impact of materiality on
design and practice is being widely reassessed and reimagined.
Materiality and Architecture extends architectural thinking beyond
the confines of current design literatures to explore conceptions
of materiality across the field of architecture. Fourteen
international contributors use elucidate the problems and
possibilities of materiality-based approaches in architecture from
interdisciplinary perspectives. The book includes contributions
from the professions of architecture, art, architectural history,
theory and philosophy, including essays from Gernot Boehme,
Jonathan Hill and Philip Ursprung. Important 'immaterial' aspects
such as presentation, agency, ecology and concept are examined,
deepening our understanding of materiality's role in architectural
processes, the production of cultural identities, the pursuit of
political agendas, and the staging of everyday environments and
atmospheres. In-depth illustrated case studies examine works by
Herzog & de Meuron, Zaha Hadid, and Lacaton & Vassal,
interspersed with visual essays and interviews with architects such
as MVRDV providing a direct connection to practice. Materiality and
Architecture is an important read for researchers and students with
an interest in architectural theory and related fields such as art,
art history, or visual and cultural studies.
