Impacting the silhouette of cities, as well as interior spaces around the world, no other architectural element can claim as wide a range of expression and use as concrete.

The panelists will explore uses of concrete as structure, cladding, pavement, interior surface, and an all-around shape-shifter that has given way to economic and cultural transformations at varying scales.
