The poetic aspect of a construction material – about 70 projects from the last five years present how architects “knead” concrete structures, which amazing qualities can be developed by exposed concrete and that concrete does not need to be grey.
In this book, Dirk Meyhöfer shows that the popular material has more to offer than it is usually assumed and explains with informative short texts his personal choice of projects.
