Why Materials Matter

Read More

This visually stunning investigation of natural and man-made materials will change the way you look at the world around you, while offering hope for the future of our planet.

What does it mean to live in a material world, and how do materials of the past and present hold the keys to our future? This book tackles these questions by focusing on various issues that human beings face and by discussing potential materials-related solutions. It explores, for example, how ancient practices such as dyeing fabric and making glue may hold the secret to renewable and earth-friendly consumer products, as well as how recycling plastics can tackle food waste, and how a type of light metal being developed may one day make air travel less fuel-reliant. It also investigates the potential of the digital experience, suggesting how this most ephemeral type of matter can be used to improve our world. It serves as both a stimulating catalogue of possibilities and a timely manifesto on how to consume, manufacture, and design for a better future.
