Our shelves will be stocked with a curated selection of titles exploring material intelligence, architecture and design including many of the books featured on the Material Matters with Grant Gibson podcast. If you’ve ever wanted to take a deeper dive into the ideas shaping the way we think about materials today, this is your chance.
