The invention of cement revolutionized construction and civil engineering. It is not - as one might think - from the brain of a diploma engineer, but the experience of a gardener. As it was the fashion, there was rock throwing of cement on a fence. He observed that this material was both waterproof and rot proof and used it in place of wooden flower boxes. Noticing that this material had a high resistance, it was used for bins, first small then large, then tanks, soon beams, bridges ... The book traces the history of this slow development which was carried out over a dozen years, as well as trial and error and achievements of other researchers, in France, the United States, Great Britain and Germany.

"Unlike the more specialist books which deal with diagnosis techniques or non-destructive testing, with repair and strengthening of concrete structures or with specific degradation mechanisms such as sulfate attack or alkali-silica reaction, this book describes and explains the different types of damage to concrete structures comprehensively. It is written as a textbook for undergraduate and masters students, and is also helpful to practitioners such as design engineers, architects or consultants"--

Le Corbusier définit la recherche qu'il entreprend au cours de ses vingt dernières années de carrière comme une synthèse des arts. D'autres appelleront cela le brutalisme : un art où l'architecture, la peinture, la sculpture, la tapisserie, les émaux et les dessins se rejoignent. L'ouvrage aborde ce qui a fondé cette démarche d'un double point de vue éthique et esthétique en analysant les différentes productions de l'oeuvre polymorphe de l'architecte.
