Fragments of an evolving tangible immateriality

Abstract

Even though it is expected that any material meets all expectations, every effort is made to multi-tailor material properties in the demand of creating bigger, lighter, thinner and stronger architectural and structural elements. This work will explore the emerging combination of classic construction materials, such as glass, concrete, timber and steel, and the transmutation of those into materials with enhanced and surprising properties in an attempt to question their current limits and to explore their challenging possibilities.
