Material matters Architecture and Material Practice, Edited by Katie Lloyd Thomas This book examines the use of materials in architecture, considering their meaning, implications, influences and practical use, going beyond a simple technical view to discover the forces that shape ‘the stuff of building’. It comprises a unique collection of illustrated essays that will be of great interest to architectural practitioners and theorists who want to consider the wider implications of material practice, and to students who are developing their own approach to making buildings.
