Magic Metal in Architecture – no other material develops so many different facets in the application. Whether in the form of “skin and bones” or as a high-tech façade, brilliant constructions always bring the quality of metal into focus. On the basis of about 70 projects, the publication presents how steel and aluminum have been developed for constructional purpose and how archaic materials such as copper create future potentials. The German architecture critic Dirk Meyhöfer comments on buildings and interiors from the last five years.
