 Abstract

This "designers' manual" is made during the TIDO-course AR0531 Innovation and Sustainability This Architectural Handbook is dedicated to the building material FRP, or ‘fibre-reinforced polymers’. It provides an overview of applications in façade and structural designs, focussing on design aspects of FRP and how to deal with an adaption of FRP in the building industry as a ‘conventional’ building material. Its purpose is to provide a common understanding of issues and good practice requirements, helping to bridge knowledge gaps between the architects and experts that already work their whole life in FRP, yet in other industries. But this manual gives the architect also some encouragement to work with this relatively new material in Architecture and how to deal with all stakeholders that are involved in this conservative business.
