Von der hinteren Coverseite

Na het succes van Material World 1 en Material World 2 bestaat de derde uitgave in deze serie, Material World 3: innovatieve materialen voor Architectuur en Design, nog eens uit meer dan honderd materialen en halffabricaten. Deze werden zorgvuldig geselecteerd door MatériO, het informatiecentrum over innovatieve materialen. Material World 3 belooft om te voldoen aan de vraag van architecten, ontwerpers en studenten en geeft productinformatie, technische specificaties en suggesties voor manieren om de nieuwste, fascinerendste materialen en afwerkingen te gebruiken. Naast inspiratie vindt de lezer de namen, adressen, telefoonnummers en websites van leveranciers - alle informatie die nodig is om elk item in het boek aan te schaffen. Daarnaast omschrijft het team van MatériO vijftien basisconcepten om de lezer een beter inzicht te laten krijgen in complexe onderwerpen en om, zelfs de meer geïnformeerde lezer, op aspecten van de materialen te wijzen die vaak over het hoofd worden gezien. Al deze kenmerken maken Material World 3 tot een vrijwel encyclopedische overzicht van spannende materialen en afwerkingen voor gebruik in het interieur en architectuur.
