Features: The Architectural Texture System Series is designed to provide readers with a set of reference and practical architectural books. The series primarily focuses on building materials, mainly including concrete, glass, steel, and brick. In the concrete architecture section, the included projects encompass residential buildings, teaching buildings, restaurants, office buildings, art museums, and memorials. We can observe that plain concrete serves as the primary material for these structures, showcasing its rich architectural expressiveness. In modern architecture, steel and glass are the most widely used building materials. From small-scale projects like residential buildings, restaurants, and retail stores to large-scale ones such as theaters, museums, and corporate headquarters, we can see that steel and glass, with their versatile and dynamic expressive capabilities, have become the architects' most desired first choices.
