Concrete is one of the most dynamic and flexible building materials in architectural history. A multifaceted material, it has the ability to take on many forms, textures and colours.
Architectural concrete allows for extensive creative possibilities with finishes that can be polished smooth, imprinted, brushed, hammered, etched and cast in different colours to create incredibly diverse results.
Our panel of speakers will present case studies on buildings that used the colour, texture and form offered by architectural concrete to define a streetscape, integrate a home into its landscape, bring together modern and historical and create a sculptural building that connects to a contrasting environment.
