Concrete Architecture Done Well,
By
This review is from: Concrete Architecture (Hardcover)
Concrete has been a popular building material only for little more than a hundred years. In this short time, it has become the world wide building material of choice. It is a cheap and easy to work with and comparatively little skill is needed to build with it. In turn, concrete has been used to build some of the most noxious buildings the world has ever known. It has been abused from the shanty towns of the developing world to the high concept buildings of elite architects.
In "Concrete Architecture" journalist Catherine Croft describes the history and development of concrete as a bulding material. Her book highlites the best uses of concrete in homes, business, civic buildings and landscape architecture in the past decade. The photographs are inspirational and her writing is clear and on point. For the forseeable future, concrete will continue to be the dominant building material of our times. It is important for architects and patrons to see how this material is used in the hands of talented architects. |
