As strong as a rock, the Foro Boca rises above the sea on the Gulf of Mexico. With their rough-cast exposed concrete facades, the angular volumes of this new concert hall by Rojkind Architects resemble a huge group of boulders. The contrast to the James Simon Galerie in Berlin could scarcely be greater. For this new point of access to the Museum Island, David Chipperfield Architects Berlin designed a filigree concrete colonnade that asserts itself as a light and airy viewing platform over the River Spree, opening up new perspectives to the urban surroundings. The slender columns were constructed as precast concrete elements with white marble ¬aggregate. The architects deliberately adopted the motif of the colonnade as a reference to the historical museum architecture nearby, translating it into a contemporary form that also avails itself of present-day production methods. In the June edition of DETAIL, we have compiled a number of examples of modern developments that demonstrate the diversity of concrete. Just as varied as the individual buildings portrayed here – whether rough or smooth, light or powerful – are the details and the forms of construction using this material.

The third edition of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete continues to be the most comprehensive text for engineering students, instructors and practising engineers. Theoretical and practical aspects of analysis and design are presented in a clear, easy-to-follow manner and are complemented by numerous illustrative and design examples to aid students' comprehension of complex concepts. This edition has been fully updated to reflect recent amendments and addenda to the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures AS3600–2009 and allied standards. Two new chapters, covering T-beams, irregular-shaped sections and continuous beams, and strut-and-tie modelling have been added as discrete modules to enhance the progression of topics. Additional information is provided on fire resistance, detailing and covering, long-term deflection and design for torsion. An expanded collection of end-of-chapter tutorial problems consolidate student learning and develop problem-solving skills. Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete remains an indispensable resource for students and engineers continuing their professional development. Presents a comprehensive yet accessible treatment of reinforced and prestressed concrete for undergraduate students. Includes numerous worked examples supplemented by exercise problems. This third edition is updated to include the current AS3600 Australian Standards [Publisher]

La sua natura artificiale di composto di più ingredienti, il suo processo di fabbricazione, i passaggi dallo stato fluido a quello solido, la presenza o meno dello stampo o delle casseforme, lo stesso cantiere edile con la partecipazione di manovali, sono tutti elementi, fasi e luoghi della fabbricazione che hanno imposto il calcestruzzo tra i prodotti tecnici più idonei a esprimere i radicali mutamenti culturali e politici della società contemporanea quando gli artisti attivi negli anni Sessanta del Novecento hanno reso sempre più vasto e irrituale il catalogo di materiali e le azioni creative della scultura. Nel cemento, nel calcestruzzo e nei loro processi di fabbricazione sono stati scoperti i modi per rifondare l’intelaiatura stessa del quadro, per creare cataste arcaiche e ostruzioni politiche, per produrre rovine, colate lungo scarpate e giganteschi monumenti in parchi e città, oppure trincee nei deserti per innalzare steli simboliche della civiltà dei consumi, per fomentare happening e sperimentare forme di riciclaggio, per trasformare la scultura in struttura seriale e commensurare o imbrigliare lo spazio, per mostrare il dolore di donne violate. Di tutte queste forme artistiche del calcestruzzo sono stati protagonisti i massimi artisti della seconda metà del Novecento, da Uncini a Schifano, Zorio, Boetti, Anselmo e Pistoletto, da Shiraga a Sekine, Kishio e Oiticica, da Rauschenberg a Smithson, Andre, De Maria, Heizer, Holt, Oppenheim, Aycock, Ross e Turrell, da Kaprow a Kienholz, Oldenburg, Nek Chand, De Sainte Phalle e Matta-Clark, da Vostell a Staccioli e Arman, da Chillida a Serra, LeWitt e Judd. La traiettoria creativa di ognuno di loro ha spesso intercettato opere e tecniche di architetti che del calcestruzzo sono stati maestri, da Le Corbusier, a Wright, Kahn, Rudolph, Pei e Scarpa, o che, come Hollein, hanno saputo intuire il potenziale artistico di quel materiale. Il saggio vuole offrire al lettore un frammento dello straordinario universo creativo della scultura in calcestruzzo cui è dedicata la serie Sculture in calcestruzzo dal Novecento ad oggi curata da Anna Rosellini.
