Heterogenous Constructions: Lecture & Book Launch

William Stout Architectural Books is proud to sponsor this lecture by Aaron Forrest, Brett Schneider, & Yasmin Vobis on the launch of their book Heterogeneous Constructions.

Heterogeneous Constructions takes a close look at a series of global building traditions and contemporary practices to uncover the possibilities and challenges of working with mixed materials. Visually stunning, color-coded drawings reveal the materials and construction for every project. Through case studies, design experiments and writings, the authors examine the opportunities of heterogeneous construction for contemporary, sustainable, circular, and culturally situated architecture.
