Reviews

„Der amerikanische Autor Quang Truong, der als Projektleiter im Büro Diller Scofidio + Renfro hautnah Erfahrungen mit Verbundstoffen bei der Realisierung futuristischer Projekte sammeln konnte, zeigt das Grundwissen und die Einsatzmöglichkeiten von Composite Materials auf und analysiert bis ins Detail Beispiele renommierter Architekten wie Foster and Partners, Kengo Kuma oder Snøhetta. Bislang ist es vor allem der hohe Preis, der den Einsatz von Kohlefasern im Bauwesen (im Gegensatz zur Automobilindustrie) bremst. Das riesige Potenzial für die Zukunft wird in der Publikation aber erkennbar.”
