Nano Materials: in Architecture, Interior Architecture and Design

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Nanotechnology is widely regarded as one of the twenty-first century’s
key technologies, and its economic importance is sharply on the rise.
In architecture and the construction industry it has potentials that
are
already usable today, especially the coating of surfaces to lend them
functional characteristics such as increased tensile strength,
self-cleaning capacity, fire resistance, and others. Additives based on
nanomaterials make common materials lighter, more permeable, and more
resistant to wear. Nanomaterials are not only extremely useful for
roofs and facades; they also expand design possibilities for interior
and exterior rooms and spaces. Nano–insulating materials open up new
possibilities for ecologically oriented architects.
