‘… We look for concrete surpassing its 'original' performance to the point of becoming a new material in and of its self with contemporary s[atial and experimential consequences. Behind the collective work that the competition evokes, there is an interest of generating practical implementations of theoretical topics on architecture as the construction of a second nature or second life. Creating architectural applications and systems for a world that needs to serioously reconsider the material conditions with which construction and demolition takes place.'
The Concrete Design Book on Implicit Performance is distrubuted world-wide by IDEA BOOKS, Amsterdam. |
