Books by RIBA

Explores the various colours and surface consistencies of concrete. This book shows that the interpretation and end results of using tried and tested concrete mixes and commonly used forming materials still offer almost limitless design freedom and scope for expression.

First in a series of three books, this book covers the uses of concrete. It highlights two particular projects, which express a renewed interest in concrete's plastic and aesthetic qualities that are present in modern architecture, namely One Centaur Street and Aberdeen Lane.
