The fundamental properties and technical aspects are reviewed within a context of a material's history, the theories of its meaning and making, and its use.Information about the sustainability aspects of each material is included (as a critical necessity in construction). Innovative design comes from an understanding of materials for what they are, how they have been used in the past, and how they can support human activity.
