Focusing on the relationship of geometry to materials, this comprehensive catalogue of contemporary materiality gathers together illustrated built projects, which are described both graphically and visually. The themes revolve around physical material making and design decisions that emerge from geometric and material applications. It assembles a range of diverse voices across different institutions, practices, generations and locations to reveal the design influence of geometry and the processes of fabrication and construction on architecture. The book provides a high level of technical information through the case studies but positions this within a broader theoretical intention - showing how but crucially, asking why.
