This structure has been damaged and rebuilt many times after hurricanes on the coast, first in 1995 by hurricane Opal. Eventually Seaside gave up on reconstructing the walk, which is why currently only half the structure remains standing.<br /><br />questions to think about: How does climate affect design? What is an acceptable lifespan for a structure? Is this sustainable?

was recently reminded of a great book about materials research: Immaterial/Ultramaterial: Architecture, Design, and Materials edited by Toshiko Mori.<br /><br />The book discusses different types of material research being conducted based on types such as edge, surface, substance, and phenomena.<br /><br />The book also transcribes round table discussions between some well-known architects regarding each subject.<br /><br />There are two copies of the book on reserve at the Kranzberg Art and Architecture Library. Check it out if you get a chance!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1632148837401939538-3976206779649043413?l=samfoxmaterialscenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Materials Resource Centerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07398197682917901694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632148837401939538.post-8706542843410980262009-09-02T19:23:00.003-06:002009-09-02T19:43:23.652-06:00Paperstone is an innovative surface material that can be applied in various ways including counter tops and rainscreens.<br /><br />Paperstone offers a few types of surface materials, made of 100% recycled post-consumer recycled cardboard, 100% post-consumer recycled paper, or virgin fiber. All types are manufactured with a petroleum-free resin.<br /><br />The 'Certified' type, made of 100% post-consumer recycled paper is certified by the Smartwood program of the Rainforest Alliance to the Forest Stewardship Council standards.<br /><br />Paperstone boasts steel-like strength in span and a workability similar to that of wood.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kOw-qng7c6E/Sp8elGTYVlI/AAAAAAAAAHs/CzzFDPMxxCA/s1600-h/3.jpg"><br /></a><a href="http://www.paperstoneproducts.com/"><br /></a> <a href="http://www.paperstoneproducts.com/">To learn more about Paperstone, visit their site by clicking here.</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.paperstoneproducts.com/"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kOw-qng7c6E/Sp8ekn_Hs0I/AAAAAAAAAHk/KvHgfPGRg9A/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kOw-qng7c6E/Sp8ekn_Hs0I/AAAAAAAAAHk/KvHgfPGRg9A/s320/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377050094661514050" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kOw-qng7c6E/Sp8elGTYVlI/AAAAAAAAAHs/CzzFDPMxxCA/s1600-h/3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 143px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kOw-qng7c6E/Sp8elGTYVlI/AAAAAAAAAHs/CzzFDPMxxCA/s320/3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377050102799554130" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kOw-qng7c6E/Sp8elGTYVlI/AAAAAAAAAHs/CzzFDPMxxCA/s1600-h/3.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kOw-qng7c6E/Sp8ekJlNrAI/AAAAAAAAAHc/RL0iXaa-vU8/s1600-h/1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 143px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kOw-qng7c6E/Sp8ekJlNrAI/AAAAAAAAAHc/RL0iXaa-vU8/s320/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377050086499789826" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Have a question or comment regarding this week's Material of the Week?
