 Concrete
Elegance Two - the second in the series - highlights once again the
inexhaustible material possibilities for creating visually uplifting
architecture.
The
projects discussed in this book are varied and provide an exploration
into concrete's versatility. The popular material can be used for anything
from kitchen worktops to house extensions.
The
book contains a summary of state of the art developments in casting
smooth, double-storey high, board marked panels without compaction exemplified
by the Lincoln City and County Museum.
The
book also includes an explanation of precast sandwich panel construction
used extensively for housing developments in Helsinki and for a stunning
office development in Arhus, Denmark.
Concrete
Elegance Two highlights concrete's ageless character and brings new
ideas and fresh approaches in response to a changing environment. Lavishly
illustrated, it will inspire architects, designers and engineers.
