- Replacing sand with glass waste in concrete 3D printingResearchers from NTU Singapore developed a method to use recycled glass in concrete 3D printing, for a more environmentally sustainable way of building and…
- Dredged sediment concreteThis is a circular concrete made out of dredged sediments. Dredged sediment is a muddy waste stream from our rivers and canals. By applying dredge in a circular concrete, Waterweg makes sure it can have a high value application.
- A rainwater collecting bench made with porous concreteBelgian designer Barbara Standaert created the Waterbench, a piece of urban furniture with integrated planer made with porous concrete to collect rainwater. Cities are…
- Concrete curtainAlways irritated by those curtains blown trough an open door? Now there is a solution for that. Memux architectural design from Vienna made curtains…
- Concrete honeycomb façade: when material met structureThe interesting thing about metamaterials is that it is the structure rather than the material that saves the day. However, it is even better…
- Discover the Modular Housing System Based on Concrete Sewer PipesAt the Venice Architecture Biennale 2016, Portuguese architect Samuel Gonçalves has installed three hollow concrete forms to promote the Gomos System, a modular housing…
- Freeform Concrete Innovation by Bruil Changing the Face of ArchitectureArchitects have traditionally been limited by concrete construction techniques that restrict them to casting their designs in flat, angular shapes. 3d concrete printing experts…
- Concrete wallpaperConcrete with its sober subdued character is one of Dutch designer Piet Boon's favourite materials. In cooperation with NLXL they have designed a range of 9 patterns of Concrete Wallpaper. One advantage is that minor damages don’t show. They seemingly simply disappear naturally in the ‘structure’. The collections consists of 7 designs, 900 x 48,7 cm (4,4m2) / 354” x 19” (47 SQFT)
- Polymer concrete glassBroken reinforced glass is added to polymer concrete and the resulting material is polished on both sides. The effect is translucent and sparkling.
- Luminous ConcreteLuminous concrete has glass beads in the surface that has been treated with photoluminescent and fluorrescent materials. These photos show the variation with glassbeads which will glow up when exposed to blacklight. Without this light, the bright colours are hidden. In the dark, only the photoluminescent materials will glow.
- 3D Printed Concrete From Industrial Waste Enables Circular ConstructionA European research consortium is rethinking concrete construction by combining 3D printing, recycled materials, and design for disassembly. The CARBCOMN project, involving Empa, ETH…
- Graphic ConcreteGraphic Concrete Oy offers a unique possibility to manufacture and to use patterned exposed-aggregate finish from graphic pictures. The method is based on a patented invention to use different printing techniques for applying surface retarder on a special membrane.
- Diamond Polished ConcreteFor concrete grinding HTC has developed a method called HTC Superfloor; mechanical instead of chemical polishing of the surface of excisting or new floors. This treatment gives the concrete a durable high gloss polish, and is just as well suited for industrial purposes as public buildings.
- Precrete: Sustainable Concrete from Oyster ShellsAll rivers in England are now rated in “bad” ecological condition. In Kent, heavy sewage discharges have damaged local shellfish waters. Designer Jacob Tucker…
- Tor Alva: A 3D Printed Concrete Tower of Innovation Built by RobotsA new architectural wonder now rises in the Swiss Alps. Tor Alva, or “White Tower,” is the tallest 3D printed building in the world.…
- Bricks made of recycled concrete and CO2Researchers at the University of Tokyo have turned concrete from a demolished school building and carbon dioxide from the air into bricks. To make…
- Concrete Crochet TilesConcrete Crochet Tiles designed by Doreen Westphal are made of ceramic concrete (by G.tecz) and capture a hand crafted inlay of traditional crochet.
- Biodegradable concrete casts made of sawdustResearchers at the University of Michigan (US) created a biodegradable formwork made of sawdust to mitigate wood waste in the process of laying concrete.…
- The world’s first 3D printed concrete film studioDesigner Philipp Aduatz, in collaboration with set designer Dominik Freynschlag and 3D concrete printing manufacturer incremental3d, 3D printed a film studio of concrete. The…
- Circular Concrete CityscapesCircular Concrete Cityscapes move the isometric Cityscapes design by Studio Wae to the outdoor area. This unique concrete tile, inspired on the artwork of M.C. Escher, is used to upgrade any garden, square or street. The geometrical tiles enables you to create your own personally designed shape. They are produced with 75% recycled materials from Urban Mining. The tiles are 6cm thick and therefore suitable for light transport.
- Butong bubble concreteButong bubble concrete panels are made by pressing two form matrices together. How these matrices join inside the panel determine the filter effect of the panel. The panels have holes from both sides of the panel in a hexagonal pattern. Due to that the cells of the two sides of the matrix are joined, the panel will keep its uniform thickness. In its semi-hard condition, panels can easily be cut to desirable shape.
- WEAVE concrete tilesWEAVE is a series of concrete tiles, inspired by the rhythmic imagery created by sand dunes and traditional weaving techniques. The surface is made from special concrete known as liquid stone, giving the tiles a smooth finish.
- Hemp concreteHemp concrete is a mixture of hemp fibres, natural glue, and water. Hemp is a natural material that has been used for centuries. Building with hemp has many advantages, as it has great acoustic and thermic insulation properties. The material is CO2 negative, removing more CO2 from the atmosphere than it adds. Hemp concrete is vapour permeable, and fire-retardant thanks to the glue.
- Printed concreteThese concrete slabs were designed by Studio Baukje Trenning. They constist of standard concrete with a print on it. Depending on the print, several effects can be achieved, such as waves and perspective distortion.
