The publication presents an analysis of 16 selected Swiss concrete buildings in scales 1:10 and 1:1 using large-scale detailed isometric drawings and is the result of in-depth research by the authors at the Architecture Department of the ETH Zurich. The book demonstrates the innovative strength of Swiss architectural production, which combines current technical requirements with sophisticated building culture.

The Swiss canton of Grisons impresses with an overwhelming landscape and outstanding new architecture. The material concrete has a long tradition there in the deliberate confrontation with history, material, scale, and construction. It goes without saying that impressive buildings of innovative material aesthetics blend into the rugged rock formations of the surroundings. While the versatility of wood is evoked elsewhere today, the quality of concrete is revived here.0The book provides a deep insight into the history, materiality and construction of this fascinating material in the Grisons tradition and makes you want to travel there to be inspired by the quality of the 20 project examples presented.

Vielschichtig, facettenreich und formbar wie kaum ein anderer Baustoff besitzt Beton enormes Zukunftspotenzial. Je nach Zusammensetzung reichen seine Einsatzgebiete vom schlichten Möbel über beeindruckende Innenausbauten bis hin zu faszinierenden Fassadenkonstruktionen oder weit gespannten Tragstrukturen. Geliebt oder gehasst, Beton ist Teil der Baukultur und - ob filigran, skulptural oder massiv - durch seine enormen Konstruktions- und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten nicht wegzudenken aus der gebauten Umwelt. Best of DETAIL: Beton bündelt die Highlights aus der Zeitschrift Detail der letzten Jahre zu diesem ausdrucksstarken Baustoff. Neben interessanten Fachbeiträgen liefert die Publikation in einem umfangreichen Projektbeispielteil vom Bahnhof bis zum Einfamilienhaus und zur Kirche jede Menge Inspirationen für die eigene Praxis.

Concrete ? That characterless stuff of parking lots or Communist tower blocks, right ? Well, yes. And no. Concrete is actually a name applied to a remarkably wide range of building substances, and, when properly handled, is one of the noble materials of contemporary architecture. A kind of “liquid stone” at the outset, it is malleable, durable, and capable of prodigious feats of engineering. This Bibliotheca Universalis edition highlights the best work done in concrete of recent years. It includes such stars as Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, and Steven Holl, but also surprising new architects like the Russians SPEECH and artists such as James Turrell, who turned the famous concrete spiral of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim in New York into the setting of one of his most remarkable pieces.
