Over the last ten years concrete has become established as the favourite material for a number of internationally renowned architects, designers, sculptors, artists, and interior designers. In this unprecedented look at the design possibilities of concrete within the domestic environment, desgin expert Sarah Gaventa redresses the preconceptions surrounding the material, examining experimentation on the medium by many of the world's leading designers such as Rem Koolhaas, Tadao Ando, Maya Lin, and Ron Arad. With a highly accessible text, a foreword by architect Piers Gough, and a wealth of inspirational images, Sarah Gaventa presents concrete as the material for the 21st century.
