From plastics with the strength and durability of metal, to mass-produced skins, sensuous plastics, and rental DVDs that expire 48 hours after you've opened the packaging, "The Plastics Handbook" offers a fascinating insight into the most innovative and unusual plastics for designers and manufacturers throughout the world. This book gets under the skin of products and materials to reveal the hidden qualities of plastics, exploring the materials that surround us today, and those that will surround us tomorrow, together with their practical applications. "The Plastics Handbook" is your essential guide to who is making what, from contemporary designer materials to the products of the future, featuring facts and applications for hundreds of new plastic products and materials. The book also has an extensive resources section, including a glossary, a guide to different types of plastics, diagrams of standard manufacturing processes, plus useful website addresses.

Ce livre présente les plus importants matériaux utilisés aujourd'hui en architecture. Le bois, la pierre, le verre et les matériaux synthétiques sont traités ici comme des éléments architecturaux en soi. Chaque matériau fait l'objet d'un chapitre illustré de nombreuses photos de réalisations d'architectes célèbres qui rendent hommage à son expressivité. Edition en français-allemand-néerlandais.

The use of glass as a building material was encouraged in particular by garden design, as the protection of exotic plants required the construction of greenhouses and orangeries. In a record time of just five months, Joseph Paxton, himself a garden designer, put up the Crystal Palace in London's Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. A totally glazed exhibition hall, of gigantic proportions by the standards of the time, it was a milestone in the history of building in glass. The result was a totally new spatial quality and a new aesthetic, as interior and exterior could now enter into a quite unique mutual relationship. Since then, architecture without glass has been inconceivable, and glass has been used as a construction material by renowned architects worldwide for industrial buildings and private houses. Glass masterpieces, erected in particular in combination with other materials, for example, wood, stone or steel, demonstrate the potential and variety of glass architecture.

La construction de bâtiments réalisée en plastic reçoit aujourd'hui un attrait de plus en plus grand auprès des constructeurs et du public. Suite aux premières expériences des années 1940, le plastic est devenu courrant, principalement en raison de son côté transparent ou translucide. De grands architectes issus de l'actuelle avant-garde en ont un usage fréquent. Le présent ouvragde tente de démontrer que ce matériau "éphémère" est entré dans les habitudes constructives et fait partie de la liste des matériaux proposés actuellement en raison des possibilités esthétiques et techniques qu'il offre.
