Adaptive reuse - Felsenreitschule is a theatrical arena carved out of a former quarry
Coconut tiles
Steiner tunnel test
Translucent concrete
Have you seen the fabric stretched ceilings that some institutions have? They look like sails, modern art. But like other materials used in construction they have to go through tests and standards before they can be used.
This book 'Materials for Interior Environments' broadens your view of the life cycle of materials used in your construction from not just the source of where they are from but also what other resources have been spent in making it all happen. You are also encouraged to find reuse and reduce landfill with proper maintenance.
Of the materials we find everyday, we can learn a bit more, say your carpet - is it cut pile or loop? Looking at some examples you can place certain materials in a special environment like glass block wall in restaurants.
I liked the float glass process illustration in the manner of giving you a peek into each of the stages by ripping off a piece of the blackbox. The book has a lot and different kind of pictures to illustrate the concepts. Gypsum at a level invisible to the eye looks like fries.
