¿Qué tiene la madra que la hacen tan familiar y acceder... Que la convierte en uno de los materiales favoritos? Este libro examina la madera en muchas de sus formas pasadas, presentes y futuros.

Un interesante material que puede adoptar múltiples formas y que se puede trabajar de diversos modos. Desde el cristal más vulgar hasta el tecnológicamente más sofisticado, se presentan un total de setenta productos y procesos que se describen de forma sencilla y, al mismo tiempo, rigurosa, gracias a unas tablas que contienen datos mas especificos sobre cada producto, como las dimensiones, tipo de produccion, propiedades y usos.

Over the last ten years there has been a huge growth in the area of materials for design, but most books on this subject deal with advanced, semi-formed materials (that is, materials sold as sheet, rod, tube, etc.). This book provides much-needed information on the raw materials, and the low-down on how these can be used. Organized into three sections embracing grown, oil-based and mined materials, each entry includes information on key features, typical applications, production processes and sustainability issues. This fact-packed book will allow professional designers and students from a range of disciplines to understand in simple, exciting, visual terms the different qualities and features of materials.
