Materiality is a recurring and central issue in architecture. This book explains how materials are constructed, how they become cultural substances. Metamorphism investigates the complex relationship between natural materials and technology, science and sensuality. Gottfried Semper (1803-1879) made the notion of Stoffwechsel the key element of his theory. With this concept he intended to explain how a structural form originally bound to a method of processing is transferred from one material to another, liberated from its original function.

Examples from Aalto to Zumthor illustrate the specific aspects of historic and contemporary material concepts.
