Nanotechnology is considered one of the key technologies of the 21st century with rapidly growing economic significance. In architecture and construction, its potential for exploitation today lies particularly in the coating of surfaces, which impart functional properties such as increased fracture strength, self-cleaning ability, fire resistance, etc. Nanomaterial-based additives make common materials lighter, more permeable, or more wear-resistant. Nanomaterials are not only of great interest for facades and roofs, but they also enrich the design possibilities of interior and exterior spaces. Nano-insulation materials open up new potential for ecologically minded architects. Architects, interior designers, and designers will find in this book a tailored introduction to the scientific background, a critical discussion of the advantages and limitations of this technology, and, above all, a comprehensive presentation of 16 construction- and design-relevant properties and functions of nanomaterials, supported by numerous international project examples. Nobel Laureate Harold Kroto contributed a foreword.
