Materials, Form, and Architecture
"What a delight: a book about materials that isn't a catalogue of building materials. No lists of the properties of stone, wood, concrete, glass and steel; instead, an invitation to think about what materials are, and about what it means to call architecture an art of materials... this is a wonderfully perceptive and readable book that architecture students will love."
