Concrete. Glass. Steel. Stone. Wood. These materials when used in architecture inform our experience of buildings through aesthetic, social and historic experiences. Contributing both structurally and decoratively, their role permeates through the visceral to both a fundamental and integral level.
This vast catalogue of architectural forms celebrates these simple materials which support the work of the architecture and their designers, whilst aiding a human relationship to the structures which becomes as strong as the materials in question.
