With a seemingly infinite number of creative choices for materials, understanding them all properly helps designers make inspired decisions in a practical and confident manner.
The Materials Sourcebook for Design Professionals is a one-stop resource for all levels of designer, giving information about the basic materials with which they work on a daily basis, as well as a complete breakdown on new and exciting developments in high-tech materials.
Major material groups are then separated further into chapters that examine the properties of individual types of materials, with nearly 100 material types featured, each one supported by examples of how it can be used in a variety of industries, an outline of its most desirable properties and details on its form and texture.
