Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In the last ten years concrete has become established as the favored material for a number of internationally renowned architects, designers, sculptors, artists, and interior designers. This is the first book to focus on the shift towards using concrete in the home. Its potential both as a major structural element and as a cutting-edge material for furniture and object design is explored, alongside examples of work by top architects and designers such as Herzog & de Meuron, Tadao Ando, Santiago Calatrava, Maya Lin, and Ron Arad. The book illustrates the best of recent concrete innovations including colored, patterned, and semi-translucent concrete and concrete mixed with glass for different textured effects. With a highly accessible text and a wealth of inspirational images of concrete design, this book will show concrete as the material for the 21st century.
