So once again, the Dutch innovate in research and material that we all tend to take for granted. This time, its concrete. This kinda blows my mind, but Dutch innovation never ceases to amaze me so I guess I should not be that surprised.
Pretty "cool" concept.
House 3: Front Perspective At Elevate Architecture, our main drive is to challenge the status quo of what to expect from everyday architecture. Yes, that involves an understanding of global critical theory as well as regional critical theory, and of course an understanding of how things get built. However, we also are in [...]
