The second cycle of the Concrete Design Competition has as theme plastic-OPACITY. Curator Hanif Kara focuses the theme on current architectural debates on form, function, structural properties and sustainability.

'concrete is as concrete doesn't' - Massumi

'This competition seeks to investigate through research and design, any notion of plastic-OPACITY in or with concrete.  It asks participants to embrace and explore opportunities implied by the dual and combined qualities of plasticity and opacity without particularly pinning down the literal or exact meaning of each property but allowing the pluralistic and phenomenal implications of both.'
