Since 1974, Concreet. has highlighted the best achievements in concrete architecture and engineering. This book meticulously documents the buildings that have been awarded the Concrete Architecture Prize and the Beton Architecture Prize, selected by the jury from all submitted projects. If you are interested in how concrete is used creatively, constructively, and technologically, this is an essential publication that showcases the quality and diversity of the world's most widely used building material.
The book brings you closer to prize winners and recognitions: from innovative constructions to refined details where the material itself defines the design. The texts and images provide insight into the design considerations and technical possibilities of concrete, offering not only inspiration but also an understanding of the structural choices behind each project. This documented selection from 2020 (the 21st awarding of the Beton Architecture Prize) is particularly relevant for architects, students, designers, and enthusiasts of architecture and urban construction.
