Liquid Stone, aka Concrete
An online version of the National Building Museum's exhibition Liquid Stone: New Architecture in Concrete is available and is very well done and worth checking out.
29 projects are featured, broken up into four categories: Structure, Surface, Sculptural Form, and The Future of Concrete. The wide range of projects displays the almost endless possibilities of concrete as a contemporary building material, from simple and orthogonal designs to sculptural forms and treated surfaces. Many are obvious, such as any building by Tadao Ando, Simmons Hall by Steven Holl, and the Tenerife Opera House by Santiago Calatrava. But others aren't so obvious, like Alberto Kalach's GGG House and the Big Belt House by Massie Architecture, making it a learning experience as much as looking at pretty pictures.
