Ebook: Lightness

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.
