Concrete: Mini Format

Concrete follows a century of building in one of the most versatile and abundant of materials. Alongside projects by Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron and Tadao Ando, it includes work by lesser-known newcomers as well as purely functional structures such as aircraft hangars and power plants.

Cultural buildings such as the Guggenheim in New York and the penguin pool at London Zoo appear next to everyday structures of poured concrete. Each project is shown in one carefully chosen photograph with an extended caption. By William Hall, this mini format hardback has 384 pages, more than 170 photographs and a textured cover.
