352 pages Concrete is an all-around talent, already in use in ancient Rome and since the second half of the 20th century one of the most important building materials. After a period of excess and architectural faux pas a renaissance of – exposed – concrete began in the 1990s. Whether the design would be expressive-opulent or minimalistic-clear, the constant advance of technological developments, especially sophisticated new types of concrete, made possible phenomenal, previously unattainable constructions in high design quality. This volume provides an overview of contemporary realized projects. Their selection presents the many faces of concrete and the breadth of design possibilities of this building material. Furthermore, excursuses are dedicated to the role of concrete in product design. 725.2 BRA c9783037681893 Lasalle College Jakarta Library Catalogue 725.2 BRA c ID10236 Interior Design 725.2 BRA c 2015 2022-07-19 10:25:15 2022-07-19 10:26:01 machine generated
