Description
In the last ten years, concrete has re-emerged as a prime building material and is highly rated amongst architects -in particular the younger generation- because of its sculptural qualitites and interesting textures.
There have also been great many advances in the material itself, with many varieties, textures and colours of concrete now being available even types of concrete which can withstand the aging process of the elements as well as natural stone.
This book provides an illustrated systematic overview of the applications of this building material, providing useful information on the latest technical advances.
A selection of some 25 international projects which are particularly relevant are documented in detail, and will provide a source of inspiration for those active in design and construction industries. Of projects included are David Chipperfields Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames, Ben van Berkel's Moebius House, Axel Schultes' school building in Morella and many others.
