"Concrete Design" is an unprecedented look at the design possibilities of concrete within the domestic environment. Sarah Gaventa examines experimentation in the medium, past and present, by many of the world's leading names, as well as lesser-known, cutting-edge designers. Each chapter looks at the various properties of concrete - its strength, form, texture, and utility - and its many applications, from stairs to kitchens; from stools to vases; even from bowls to jewellery. Concrete has made much of the modern world possible, including many of the world's best-loved architectural monuments, the Pantheon in Rome, for example, or the Penguin Pool at London Zoo. With a highly accessible text, a foreword by architect Piers Gough, one of the world's experts in concrete architecture, and a wealth of inspirational yet little-known images, this book will demonstrate just how extraordinary concrete can be and clearly show it to be the material for the twenty-first century.
("Concrete Design" является беспрецедентным взглядом на возможности сооружений из бетона. Сара Гавента рассматривает экспериментирование в среде, прошлое и настоящее, многих из ведущих и менее известных проектировщиков. Каждая глава рассматривается различные свойства бетона - его силу, форму, текстуру - и его многочисленное применение, от лестниц на кухнях до ювелирных изделий.)
