Post-ductility : metals in architecture and engineering. Michael Bell, C. Buckley. Published 2012. Engineering, Materials Science. Metals, as surface or structure- as the generators of space, play a role in nearly every strain of modernisation in architecture. They define complete geographies of work, production, and political life.
The wide range Post ductility refers to the literal aspects of material behavior— in this case of of computation, design and delivery means rapidly gaining use in practice (BIM, metals— but also to aspects of architectural and urban space that are measured by IPD, etc.) are linking localized small-scale practices across globalized sites: materi...

Post ductility refers to the literal aspects of material behavior – in the case of metals – but also to aspects of architectural and urban space that are measured by less verifiable but nonetheless real quotients of stress.
Known for superior strength, metals allow us to build higher and span greater distances. However, they can also be soft, forgiving, and ethereal. In Post-Ductility, an interdisciplinary group of architects, historians, theorists, and engineers collectively explores the past, present, and future possibilities of this essential building material.
