Architecture is a discipline in which either the technical or the artistic dimension may prevail, yet one element remains essential: the tangibility and physical presence of its outcomes. The material that gives substance and meaning to a design vision is an integral part of the project itself and, in some cases, may even become its generative principle. This is precisely the challenge addressed in this book created to highlight the richness of the reflections, contents, and projects that emerged from the convergence of production, research, and education. The theoretical essays are complemented by the presentation of nine design proposals resulting from discussions between researchers and students of the School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano and the company AGGLOTECH.
