Performative Materials in Architecture and Designaddresses the convergence of several significant and fundamental advancements in the ways that materials and environments are designed; evaluated; and experiences within architecture and related disciplines. The emergence of experimental and ultra-performing materials; interactive processing systems; and digital design and fabrication techniques has established an interconnected network or technological inputs that has stimulated the development of materials; assemblies; and systems with performative properties. Providing an overview of representative design projects and relevant theories; this volume illuminates both the interaction of these technologies and the role of materiality in research; design; and practice.
