 Abstract

This "designers' manual" is made during the TIDO-course AR0531 Innovation and Sustainability This manual aims to inform about common and new materials, used for structural purposes. Th ree building materials are discussed. Th rough a comparison with the popular building material, concrete, their properties and potential use are illustrated. Structural glass has been chosen as an elegant and prestigious alternative to concrete. FRP is all about the shapes and lightweight structures, off ering an effi cient solution to complex geometries! Nonetheless, these aren’t strangers to the engineer. Th is manual wouldn’t be complete without a representation of the future. For that reason, mycelium, a fungus whose building potential was recently discovered, is also presented.
