About the book: Once equated with ugly highway bridges and crumbling facades of unloved housing blocks, concrete has experienced a revival and is now considered daring and sexy. This Bibliotheca Universalis edition showcases the most impressive concrete buildings of contemporary architecture, created by stars like Tadao Ando and Herzog & de Meuron as well as by emerging new firms like Russia's SPEECH.
