| Description: |
Provides a history of construction and examines the theories on its architectural expression, focussing on the determining role of the reinforced concrete frame. This book argues that Auguste Perret provides the first rational and effective expression of classical principles in modern construction. |
| Synopsis: |
Concrete, Peter Collins's first book, is an avowedly polemical and controversial combination of two studies: the origins and evolution of reinforced concrete and the life and work of the seminal French architect, Auguste Perret. |
