Concrete

Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bound together with a fluid cement that cures to a solid.

The facade and perimeter walls are made largely of Roman brick, with concrete trim, cut-stone decorations, and art glass windows.

The tower's exterior is a lattice of poured-in-place concrete made with white Portland cement.

The headhouse has a thin shell concrete roof, shaped like a set of bird's wings and supported by four Y-shaped piers.

The Johnson Administration Building is designed in a variation of the streamlined Art Moderne style, with a curved brick facade and Pyrex glass-tube windows.

It has a steel framework with sprayed concrete facade.

It was built as a council housing estate with homes spread across 'streets in the sky': social housing characterised by broad aerial walkways in long concrete blocks, much like the Park Hill estate in Sheffield; it was informed by, and a reaction against, Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation.

The construction used approximately 30,000 m3 (1,100,000 cu ft) of concrete.

The house is the largest of four concrete textile block houses that Wright designed in Greater Los Angeles in the 1920s, the others being La Miniatura, the Storer House, and the Freeman House.

The concrete walls and sliding canvas panels made novel use of industrial materials, while the open floor plan integrated the external environment into the residence, setting a precedent for California architecture in particular.

Designed primarily by sculptor Yevgeny Vuchetich with assistance from architect Yakov Belopolsky, the concrete sculpture commemorates the casualties of the Battle of Stalingrad, and is the predominant component of a monument complex, which includes several plazas and other sculptural works.

The exterior of the building consists of a glass and steel curtain wall with a steel frame and a concrete core.

Completed in June 1997, it was the tallest concrete building in the world until the completion of the Trump Tower Chicago, and the tallest in China.

The exterior is built of concrete textile blocks, which are alternately plain in design or decorated with engraved patterns.

The Johnson Administration Building is designed in a variation of the streamlined Art Moderne style, with a curved brick facade and Pyrex glass-tube windows.

The tower is a concrete structure with an internal diameter of 9 m (30 ft) and a wall thickness of 30 cm (12 in).

The foundations of the house, kitchen, barn, and the slave quarters were constructed of durable tabby concrete.

It can be constructed of earth, masonry, wood, or concrete.

The walls are made of desert masonry, a mixture of local rocks and concrete, which were originally topped by wood-and-canvas roofs.

Between its fenced perimeter and granite-lined concrete structure lie rings of razor wire.

One57's structural features include concrete floor slabs and two basement levels.

The primary structure of the temple is made of a basic concrete frame and a wooden roof.

Designed by Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay, the mosque features a contemporary design consisting of eight sides of concrete shell and is inspired by the design of a typical Bedouin tent.

Its walls alternate between 4.5 metres and 5 metres in width and are made of 16 inch-thick poured concrete.

It was the first concrete house in Westchester County, built in the 1870s in the Gothic Revival architectural style.
