Concrete That Does More Than Sit There: The Future of Functional Architectural Surfaces

From translucent panels to self-healing mixes, discover six concrete technologies redefining what an architectural surface can do โ€” with guidance for specifiers.

From Chunky to Refined: How UHPC Could Change Bespoke Concrete Design

  [row] [col span="2" span__sm="12"] [/col] [col span="8" span__sm="12"] Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is a fibre-reinforced cementitious material with compressive strengths...

Graphene Concrete: Breakthrough Material or Specification Hype?

If graphene-enhanced concrete proves unsuitable for your project timeline, specifiers can utilize supplementary cementitious materials, optimize structural design, or specify alternative low-carbon binders to achieve sustainability targets without relying on advanced nanomaterials.

Biochar Concrete: Can Concrete Become a Carbon Store?

Biochar concrete transforms traditional building materials from a carbon source into a carbon sink. By integrating carbon-rich biochar – made from heated organic waste – into concrete mixes, the industry can drastically reduce embodied carbon.

Low-Carbon Concrete: What Should Architects Actually Ask For?

To specify low-carbon concrete effectively, architects must ask suppliers for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and target specific Global Warming Potential (GWP) thresholds.

The Rise of Circular Concrete: Reuse, Recycled Aggregates and the End of Throwaway Specification

Discover how circular concrete, recycled aggregates, and bespoke reuse strategies are ending throwaway specification in commercial architectural design.

What to Consider when Choosing a Concrete Supplier Near You

Specifying concrete near you? Here’s what matters: quality control, durability design, and the 8 factors that separate excellence from average result.

Concrete, But Smarter: How Data-Driven Mix Design Could Make Bespoke Concrete More Predictable

Learn how AI-driven concrete mix design uses machine learning to predict strength, reduce carbon, and deliver highly predictable bespoke concrete.

Self-Healing Concrete: Brilliant Science, But Is It Relevant to Commercial Architecture?

Discover how bacteria-based self-healing concrete works, its immense value for civil infrastructure, and why bespoke commercial architecture requires a different approach.

Types of Concrete Surfaces and Finishes

Concrete surfaces are no longer limited to plain, utilitarian finishes. Today, they can be enriched to create surfaces that are both functional and visually distinctive.

Bespoke Artistry: Transforming Mining Waste into Sustainable Public Art

We are thrilled to be featured in the latest issue of CONCRETE (the magazine of The Concrete Society).
