The development of technologies related to the production and use of concrete have fueled the architects and designers’ researches to investigate the potential of this material.

Concrete find its favourite application field inarchitecture, where is often the protagonist: among the numerous realizations we have selected Xafix House, a single-family house in Aguascalientes, Mexico, completed by Arkylab; the House in Jiyugaoka, a 40-year-old reinforced concrete apartment renovated by Airhouse Design Office; RW Concrete Church, the church designed by Nameless Architecture near Seoul; the galleries of the Danish National Maritime Museum, completed by BIG in Helsingør; and the holiday house Solo House, designed by the Chilean architects Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen in the country of Franja de Aragón, Spain, both monolithic and transparent.
