―ENGLISH―
This book is an appeal to start designing minimum weight applications to seriously save energy. It also offers practical advice for doing so. Designing Lightness entertains the reader with its free associations, creating unexpected crosslinks between the world of composite materials and structural solutions. It therefore precedes the conventional approach to sustainability, which focuses on symptoms rather than causes of environmental overload. The book is of interest to all designing disciplines, combining packaging, vehicles, skyscrapers and nanoscale phenomena.
Adriaan Beukers is an emeritus professor in Lightweight Structures. Ed van Hinte is a writer and award-winning critic with a design and engineering background. The book is the extended and improved sequel to their book Lightness, which appeared in 1998.
―DUTCH―
Dit boek roept op tot het ontwerpen van ultralichte structuren waarmee grote hoeveelheden energie kunnen worden bespaard en komt met praktische tips om daar daadwerkelijk een begin mee te maken. Aan de hand van vermakelijke vrije associaties worden er onverwachte verbanden gelegd tussen de wereld van de composietmaterialen en structurele oplossingen. Designing Lightness is daarom urgenter dan de conventionele benadering van duurzaamheid, die zich immers richt op de symptomen in plaats van op de oorzaken van de overschrijding van de grenzen van natuur en milieu. Het boek is van belang voor alle ontwerpdisciplines en bespreekt zowel verpakkingen als voertuigen, wolkenkrabbers en verschijnselen op de nanoschaal.
Emeritus hoogleraar Adriaan Beukers is een deskundige op het gebied van ultralichte structuren. Ed van Hinte, die industrieel ontwerp studeerde, is schrijver en een bekroond criticus. Deze uitgave het uitgebreide en verbeterde vervolg op hun boek Lightness, dat in 1998 verscheen.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. A colorful, thoughtfully designed manifesto on the need to build lighter structuresThis book is a call to build lighter. As a result of the rush to ever bigger cars, condos and airplanes, Dutch writers Adriaan Beukers and Ed van Hinte were forced to confront the combination of the growing costs of converting sufficient amounts of energy for production, distribution and waste disposal and the decreasing availability of raw materials. Beyond their call to build lighter, however, the authors give practical advice for doing so. This richly illustrated book provides an extensive overview of everything involved in creating lightweight structures, offering a dazzling array of examples both from the past and future, covering everything from packaging to architecture, from hoverboards to spacecraft, ranging from abstract phenomena to bio-structures and from ancient discoveries to the newest technologies. Every detail is topped off with thorough but lighthearted explanations. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
