Summary:
The Marxist-Leninist Enver Hoxha ruled Albania with an iron fist from 1945 until his death in 1985. He is credited with the construction of 750,000 bunkers which still dot the Albanian landscape today. The most important question for the future of these bunkers is : will these hollow concrete mushrooms, looming across the lanscape like giant tortoises, ever be used?

Summary:
China is the largest consumer of cement and concrete in the world, the use of which has peaked in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. Used for the construction of extensive infrastructure and buildings, over the last twenty years renowned Chinese architects have been working in and studying the constructive limits and spatial and superficial effects of exposed concrete. In the process, they have created a wave of avant-garde architecture in China. Chinese Brutalism Today investigates the compositional, formal, and ornamental reasons for this architecture and its different surface finishes, from rough to smooth. This new wave of Chinese Brutalism is, in large part, a regional evolution and development closely linked to local construction processes and the available labor force. The finished tectonics represent not only a way to read the architecture, but also reveals the complex decision-making processes and planning that led from the conception to construction of these buildings.

Summary:
This publication presents contributions from the symposium ''Constructive Futures – Beyond Concrete'', which marked the start of the academic year 2021/2022 at the School of Architecture of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland. Its aim is to explore constructive and future-oriented solutions beyond our professional comfort zones and provide the opportunity to reflect on where the construction and planning industry currently stands. Why does a fundamental change seem inevitable? With an eye towards our limited resources, we must also rethink approaches and nurture a design culture that finds new ways to deal with building materials.
