Geeee, where's that silver platter when you need one?

I thought archinect was for sharing information and getting to meet ppl... Perhaps that is why there is the nect in it...

there have been a few posts already on materials... you should look them up. there are some interesting items.

Hi you would agrea that there shuld be just one material right .
If something ask 20 different materials, each material will ask it's own production line right. So one material is right if it can replace each fitting each profile and beam, with only one material . Now things are made from many different things, but everything, bricks, concrete other lattrice, can be shapen in one material. Ofcaurse it is better to build the large structures in heavy steel plate, and other in some specialy designed sheet material ,could be concrete bricks cast within a cube framework on site , but true then ther will be two materials ,the reinforcing 3D steel frame grid , and interconnected concrete bricks.
The great secret about why petrochemics are not good in space, come from that metal simply hold better ,so even car design - eh a brance that proberly will requier huge design challances, will profit from this way of building things. Done with CAD and without bending one single piece, metal sheet or composite sheet is better suited for CAD projecting anyway.
Beside sheet materials are cheap. Car interioue no problem maby your seat will feel a bit square but it will be in small pieces ;))

rebelliousz_poet,

You are correct. It was just my gut reaction to post my previous post. But why not? Try www.treehugger.com they have links to other sites which have some pretty cool stuff. And again, sorry for my unecessary post.
