Based on new thinking and real world evidence, Sustainable Concrete Architecture
offers a rational method for accounting for the carbon impact of concrete in contemporary
architecture. Highly illustrated and detailed in scope, the book marries technical know-how
with inspirational case studies. A technical front section looks at recent innovations in
concrete technology with a comprehensive, balanced account of the material’s embodied energy
and impact-in-use. The second half of the book sets out a series of cutting-edge case studies
of different building types constructed in concrete.
