Coles Earth and Fibers: Material Kitchens and the Architecture of Raw Matter at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Earth and plant fibers—uncooked, untreated, uncalcined, and raw—form the focus of this transdisciplinary exploration of architecture, combining recipes, life-cycle thinking, and fabrication to rethink the role of materials in the built environment. Drawing on practical design and experimental research as well as case studies, diagrams, and data, the book illustrates how working with earth and fibers can inspire building practices that are both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition. By connecting technical insight with cultural and environmental perspectives, this book positions earth-fiber materials as a critical lens through which architecture engages with matter, craft, and ecological systems.
Richly illustrated with extensive diagrams, data, and case studies
Insights into experimental and groundbreaking materials research
Briding scientific approaches with architectural practice
