Concrete

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

The bunker is a room with 1.5-metre-thick (4.9 ft) concrete walls said to be impervious to radiation.

The bare concrete Tower is neither heated nor cooled

In 1909 construction began on the huge concrete main cell block

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.

Rogers selects primarily concrete and some steel for the structure, utilizing materials appropriate to the site's local logistics.

Cohen constructed the facade of gunite, a type of sprayed concrete, as a cost-cutting measure.

All three buildings are cast in rough-cast concrete with Le Corbusier's signature Brise soleil (concrete sun-shading screens) and striking cantilevers.

The building is constructed in béton brut (rough-cast concrete), as the hoped-for steel frame proved too expensive due to the post-war steel shortage.

The column of the tower was built from an unprecedented continual pour of concrete.

Approximately 50,000 cubic metres of concrete were continuously poured for 31 hours, thus setting a record in the Malaysian construction industry.

To ensure the strength and stability of the concrete frame, Nikitin incorporated 149 taut steel ropes.

The tower reached its full height when the concrete shaft and mast were topped out in 1971, and the project was completed when the observation decks were finished in 1975.

The building's main construction material is a pale concrete, intended to complement the colour of the stone of Waterloo Bridge and Somerset House.

The flats reflect the widespread use in Britain in the 1960s and 1970s of concrete as the visible face of the building.

The design-cylindrical shape and concrete material-and urban concept-a city within a city with services and shops on site-was borrowed from Chicago architect Bertrand Goldberg's Marina City (1964), at a time that architectural historian Clive Chipkin calls the "great apartheid building boom," when several Johannesburg firms were borrowing Chicago forms.

For over a decade, the unfinished building sat vacant and without windows, fixtures, or fittings, appearing as a massive concrete shell.

According to the company Potok, which is the builder of the tower, it used grade B90 concrete which is twice as strong as regular concrete and will allow the skyscraper to withstand a direct hit of an aircraft.

The rooms of the tower are designed in such a way that it would not be affected by direct sunlight due to titanium-coloured metal panels on cast-in-place concrete columns aided with repetitive staggered screen panels to stop penetrating sunlight from disturbing the residents of the unit.

The result is a building composed of irregularly shaped concrete floor slabs which lend the facade an undulating, sculptural quality.

The concrete core was topped out in March 2012 and by July the structural steelwork was under way around the core.

The villa was built of formed and molded concrete, and completed in 1867.

The building was now made of poured concrete, concrete slabs, steel girders and trusses, all concealed under ornate hardwood floors, panels and ceilings.

It was the first building built using the "Chicago" technique, using iron and concrete and was home to one of the first department stores in Mexico City.

This great hall is fronted by full-height glass walls, and is covered by a concrete roof that consists of a flattened and segmented arch, a modernist version of a barrel vault from a Roman bath.

It was built of brick with concrete facing.

The building contains over 70,000 m3 (92,000 yd3) of concrete and 9,000 tons of steel.
