The Third Path™ — Laminated Fiber Cement

A material philosophy for surface, structure, and restraint.

This book reframes fiber cement not as an industrial product, but as a designed composite system governed by particle geometry, water history, lamination logic, and surface intent. Rather than optimizing recipes or additives, The Third Path builds understanding from first principles—treating sand as a spatial organizer, water as a temporal condition, and fibers as navigational fields within a layered matrix.

Through studio practice, field-tested diagrams, and material law, the book defines an alternative path between fragile ornament and industrial excess. It establishes a language for thin, durable cement work where structure and surface are inseparable—and where performance emerges from restraint, not complexity.
