Sustainable, circular, up-to-date

Most modern buildings are built from diverse materials, but few confront their manifold composition as a question of both design and performance. This book takes a close look at a series of global building traditions and contemporary practices to uncover the possibilities and challenges of working with mixed materials. Visually stunning, color-coded drawings reveal the materials and construction for every project. Through case studies, design experiments and writings, the authors examine the opportunities of heterogeneous construction for contemporary, sustainable, circular, and culturally situated architecture. With contributions by Jeannette Kuo, Ajay Manthripragada, and Jesús Vassallo, and photography by Naho Kubota. Graphic design by Andrew LeClair.

  • Richly illustrated case studies of lesserknown hybrid construction techniques
  • Beautiful graphic design and unique spot color printing reveal the interrelationships of materials in construction
  • In-depth essays that discuss the technical, cultural, and environmental implications of heterogeneous construction
