Includes bibliographical references.
Inspiration for architects and urban planners, this text presents a re-evaluation of a material finally coming into its own in the 21st century - concrete. The text is illustrated with projects from some of the biggest-name architects around.
"Concrete is a fabulous material, which can be used in a huge range of techniques and situations. Concrete Architecture begins with an introduction that traces the history of this material, pinpointing its earliest uses and pioneers. The author investigates past attitudes toward concrete and the debates that rose and resurfaced during the twentieth century surrounding concrete's suitability as a building material for public and domestic use. There is also a discussion of the different types of concrete and its technical developments up to the present."--BOOK JACKET.
