‘Concrete’ presents a visual exploration of the aesthetics of concrete architecture through 180 structures from ancient Rome to the present day.

This book is a celebration of concrete: collating fascinating and beautiful images of concrete structures from the breathtaking New York Guggenheim to coldly functional aircraft hangars, Concrete will engage anyone interested in architecture and encourage them to think about the sculptural qualities of buildings. Familiar icons by Le Corbusier and Tadao Ando are featured alongside vernacular structures such as petrol stations, vast power plants and London Zoo’s famous penguin pool.

It includes innovative and inspirational projects from monuments and churches to stations and cultural spaces, by some of the best architects of the last 100 years. Each project features a carefully selected photograph accompanied by an engaging extended caption

A fresh look at this diverse material,’Concrete’ explores the beauty and versatility of concrete and presents architecture to a wider audience.
