About this event

Materia is pleased to be exhibiting at R+T Asia 2015. The show, which features solutions for designers working with and around building skins, will inspire and inform architects.

Materia exhibition at R&T: ‘Materials in Transition‘
Materials used in façades mediate between outdoors and indoors, open and closed, regulating daylight and fresh air, reacting to noise, rain and temperature, protecting from outside danger: façade materials are always in transition. Reacting to changes, they can be multifunctional and sometimes interactive, but always have the purpose of increasing our comfort. The materials in this exhibition are selected for their performance in façades and other related applications to inspire you towards great, beautiful and sustainable creations.

The materials you can expect
Examples include lightweight ceramics, self-cleaning surfaces, self-healing concrete, sustainable and durable softwood, translucent textiles, acoustic façades and much more will be on show to illustrate the `Materials in Transition´ theme. Materia’s experts will also be present to speak with visitors about each of the materials on display.
