Materia, Materialize the future
If you are interested in design and materials you have to visit Materia.
Materia has evolved into a knowledge centre for materials, architecture and design and is an inspiration to a lot of people. You will find information about international innovative materials. The site also keeps you updated on exhibitions, articles published and lectures about materials, design and architecture.
Their book Material Skills, evolution of materials is a must have as far as I’m concerned. I’m going to see if I can buy one in the store this weekend, if you have a credit card you are able to order one online.
