The four-story base contains 16,000 cubic yards (12,000 m3) of concrete and over 300 miles (480 km) of steel rebar.

of concrete was used to build the shaft, which was 248.78 metres (816.2 ft) high and weighed 26,000 tons.

Isokon Flats, also known as Lawn Road Flats and the Isokon building, on Lawn Road, Belsize Park in the London Borough of Camden, is a reinforced-concrete block of 36 flats (originally 32), designed by Canadian engineer Wells Coates for Molly and Jack Pritchard.

The Top was built of concrete poured into a wooden frame attached to rebar at the lower level deck, and then reinforced with a large steel compression band around the outside.

Floors are of concrete slab construction

The Arizona bridge is a reinforced concrete structure clad in the original masonry of the 1830s bridge.

constructed of concrete sheathed in Oamaru limestone

It is constructed in reinforced concrete in a geometric style, has 25 rooms on three levels, 800 square metres (8,600 sq ft) of internal space, an upper terrace with panoramic views, and a 7-metre-tall (23 ft) corner salon with floor-to-ceiling windows.

It was built entirely out of reinforced concrete in 1910 by Charles Macdonald, a folk artist, socialist and owner of a cement brick factory.

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.

However, the design was changed in 1961 to be a large concrete structure at nearly double the height, a decision criticised by Soviet military officials and writers.

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 building has the largest reinforced concrete structure in the country, 115 meters high (377 ft.), 32 floors and 120 thousand square meters of built area, divided into six blocks, with a total of 1,160 apartments of varying sizes, according to an estimate of five thousand residents from different social classes and more than seventy commercial establishments.

The house is one of four concrete textile block houses that Wright designed in Greater Los Angeles in the 1920s, along with La Miniatura, the Ennis House, and the Freeman House.

The structure consists of a 190-metre reinforced concrete tower and a 124-metre metal mast on top of it.

Central Plaza was also the tallest reinforced concrete building in the world, until it was surpassed by CITIC Plaza, Guangzhou in 1996.

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

The Bowles house is a 4,959 sq. ft. two-story reinforced concrete building with Spanish tile roof and Italian marble columns.

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

Other characteristics of Art Nouveau were a sense of dynamism and movement, often given by asymmetry or whiplash lines, and the use of modern materials, particularly iron, glass, ceramics and later concrete, to create unusual forms and larger open spaces.

Modern architecture was based upon new and innovative technologies of construction (particularly the use of glass, steel, and concrete); the principle of functionalism (i.e.

The style is characterized by modular and rectilinear forms, flat surfaces devoid of ornamentation and decoration, open and airy interiors that blend with the exterior, and the use of glass, steel, and concrete.

High-tech architecture makes extensive use of aluminium, steel, glass, and to a lesser extent concrete (the technology for which had developed earlier), as these materials were becoming more advanced and available in a wider variety of forms at the time the style was developing, generally, advancements in a trend towards lightness of weight.

Pueblo Revival imitates the appearance of traditional adobe construction, however through the use of modern materials such as concrete and brick.

The Streamline Moderne was sometimes a reflection of the austere economic times; sharp angles were replaced with simple, aerodynamic curves, and ornament was replaced with smooth concrete and glass.

As in brutalism, the main building material of Soviet modernism was reinforced concrete, and the approach to architectural commissions was comprehensive.

Exceptions were Andrei Burov's medium-sized concrete block panel houses (such as the Lace building, 1939-41) and large buildings like the Seven Sisters, which necessitated the use of concrete.

== Modern construction == Modern shophouses are made of reinforced concrete.

Leopold (1902-1907) and especially the Austrian Postal Savings Bank (1903-1906, extended at 1910-12), had straight lines and geometric forms, a striking use of new materials, such reinforced concrete and aluminum, and a minimum of decoration on the facade or inside.

From the Modernist movement, the style uses reinforced concrete and assertive structures.

== Characteristics == Typical buildings of the Portuguese Suave style used modern architectural engineering techniques, making use of concrete structures with a high build quality.

It often featured a low dome, a once complex architectural feat rendered less difficult through the use of iron and reinforced concrete.

His Ennis House, Millard House (La Miniatura), Storer House, and Freeman House in Los Angeles are built in his concrete textile block system, with bas reliefs and modular unit construction evoking the geometric patterning on the façades of Uxmal buildings.
