A groundbreaking work resulting from the collaboration between the three major Swiss Architectural Archives and the Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel. A historical assessment of the most controversial building material of our time, concrete, made by addressing a number of issues of global relevance from a particular vantage point: reinforced concrete construction in Switzerland. Through contributions by internationally renowned researchers, the book analyses a series of moments in the Swiss history of reinforced concrete, from the initial phase of its introduction in the country to the most refined applications in architecture and engineering.
