As a rule, the underlying principles are first investigated using a feasibility demonstrator, which does not represent a finished technical product but nevertheless, on the whole, is intended to “function” like the finished product. However, there is a long way to go from this first prototype to a product that is ready to use or to a convincing building method. In this process, numerous ideas that at first seem interesting and promising have to be abandoned. Many aspects must be investigated in parallel, and plausible solutions need to be found, not only in terms of reliable and durable functionality, but also in terms of commercial viability and resource-efficient manufacture. In addition, it is important that an innovative product is accepted in the market. In the case of architecture, this means-above all- that the product is esthetically appealing, because without that aspect, there will not be much interest even if the product functions well. %@ 9783035617917
