This work provides a survey of new technology in architecture and building. The authors clarify the various advanced forms of construction including relatively new materials to provide students and practising architects and engineers with a comprehensive update on the developments of the past decade. By means of 33 detailed case studies of recent buildings which incorporate new forms of construction and materials, the authors provide architects and engineers with a state-of-the-art survey of advanced technology in architecture and building. This text is winner of the 1990 AIA Book Award.
