Can anyone lead me to a really great website or book that catalogs building materials, especailly new materials or innovative uses? I'm aware of Transmaterial but that's about it. Any suggestions?
Search Amazon for books by Chris Lefteri. I have the wood book. Pretty cool coffee table book - though he/she goes into depth on innovations of the materials.
There is a new 256 pager to be released January 1st, and for only $16.
material connexion has a good book. i believe it's materialconnexion.com - the downside is that you have to pay for membership, but their book is like 80 dollars or something.

Material Connexion looks good but not $200 good. So I'll stick with the other suggestions for now. Thanks!!
