Concrete is a beautifully designed book. It is also a thought-provoking exploration of an important subject. (from Amazon)

Concrete: In Architecture book cover

by Leonard Koren, William Hall·You?

This book is a celebration of concrete: collating fascinating and beautiful images of concrete structures from the breathtaking New York Guggenheim to coldly functional aircraft hangars, Concrete will engage anyone interested in architecture and encourage them to think about the sculptural qualities of buildings. Familiar icons by Le Corbusier and Tadao Ando are featured alongside vernacular structures such as petrol stations, vast power plants and London Zoo’s famous penguin pool.
