Visually exciting, easy to navigate and includes architects and architecture of great significance.

Anna Downs, Peterborough Regional College, UK

An excellent book for providing a quick overview of a range of materials and their potential applications.

Damian Madigan, University of South Australia, Australia

It makes an admirable 'primer' to architecture generally. The text is well conceived, relevant and timely. It is very accessible and clear.

Good professional knowledge in an accessible format. I like the ethical questions added at the end.

An excellent collection of case studies.
