A singularly impressive volume featuring 300 examples of the most incredible and inspiring concrete architecture from the early twentieth century to the present day. Concrete Architecture celebrates the might, majesty, and sculptural beauty of concrete buildings globally, and is grounded with a contextualising essay on the long history of concrete architecture, reaching back more than 1,000 years to the classical civilisations of Greece and Rome. Including buildings from Modern masters Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn, I. M. Pei, John Lautner, and Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as work by some of the most revered architects of the late twentieth century including Tadao Ando, Steven Holl, Herzog and de Meuron, and Zaha Hadid, Concrete Architecture also brings to light contemporary architects, including Grafton Architects, Elemental, and Pezo von Ellrichshausen.
