內容簡介

一本對鋼筋混凝土建築的禮讚之書。從令人屏息的紐約古根漢美術館到功能性十足的停機棚，這本收錄大量美麗的水泥建築圖錄，將吸引對建築有興趣的讀者，並鼓勵思考關於建築的雕塑屬性。從大眾孰悉的重要建築師柯比意、萊特、札哈哈蒂、赫佐格與德梅隆，以及安藤忠雄，到屬於某個特定時空的一般建築，例如：加油站，大型發電廠，還有倫敦動物園著名的企鵝池，都收錄在本書中。

「是的，鋼筋混凝土建築可以是冷酷和雄偉的，但是本書所收錄的也可以證明，它也可以是多采多姿、活潑有趣而且優雅的建築。」-《華爾街日報》

A visual exploration of the world's most extraordinary and inspiring concrete architecture - in a stylish and compact format.

"Yes, concrete can be cold and imposing - but as the structures in the book attest, it can also be colourful, playful, and delicate." —Wall Street Journal

In this new, reimagined, and easy-to-use stylish size, Concrete takes a fresh look at the world's most versatile and abundant building material. Collating fascinating and beautiful concrete buildings by some of the most celebrated architects of the last century, it features familiar projects from Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright alongside work from some of the leading lights of contemporary architecture including Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, and many lesser-known newcomers.
