Book of the Moment

Materials for Design by Victoria Ballard Bell with Patrick Rand is "a textbook that bridges the gap between construction materials and design sensibility."

Students must be taught how a choice of material affects the form and look of a structure; they must also learn how inspired design can inject any material with true personality and zeal. Materials for Design makes a thorough study of [five] material's properties, followed by a series of 10-?12 case studies of that material put to imaginative use by today's brightest architects from around the world.
Projects include Future Shack, LOOK UP Office, Masons Bend Community Center, and Sauna Pavilion. Full review on my weekly page forthcoming.
