Recreating lightness with the synergy of different materials is the main theme of this book. It picks up the suprisingly neglected topic of light construction as a means of reducing energy consumption. Based on pioneering research done at the Faculty of Aerospace Technology at the University of Delft, it shows how minimum energy structures are being used in industrial design, architecture, bridge construction, sports equipment, and vehicle technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Unique and informative,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lightness (Paperback)
This book is fantastic! It takes what could be a complex topic and makes it interesting and informative. The book is full of interesting facts, stories, and historical tidbits that capture your attention. Also, the graphic design is a work of art. This book would sit comfortable in a person's collection of art books as well as in a collection of engineering textbooks.
