Abstract
Concrete has been transfigured from the object of mass production at twentieth century to advancing technology of building a new formation of contemporary architectural design. Concrete has evolved in ranging aggregate particles, to push the boundary the concept of reinforcing concrete with high-performance quality the thinness or elasticity. There are several conditions of concrete construction based on assembling this material towards architectural buildings. In the architectural practice, the issue of structure underlines the combination of concrete system which resists the tensile strength. Concrete also reflects on surfaces of architectural elements and potentially reshaped as a vehicle for sculptural form. Mixed concrete is a preliminary idea of mixing concrete composition with other materials such as gravel, ceramic and plastic which then discovers different form or texture. The forms of expression which have emerged alongside the technical developments reflect aesthetic value with various surfaces. This exploration is a part of learning activities in building technology class which aims at directing students to utilize concrete through mixing technique. It is developed in order to create a sustainability process of concrete and discuss the possibilities of future environmental impact by using concrete. Reshaping the visible face of concrete reveals the astonishing achievement of architecture.
Highlights
IntroductionIn Modernism era, concrete helped designers answer the challenge of technology through its shaping power, its dynamism, and capacity to produces fascinating objects and systems
The emphasis on other material, such as stone, on the plastic provided other form of concrete, which created a valley or hollow on the concrete of the stone and small wrinkles around the hollow that is formed by concrete
The moulding technique provides maximum texture in both smooth and rough texture as it corresponds to the mould given above the concrete surface
Summary
In Modernism era, concrete helped designers answer the challenge of technology through its shaping power, its dynamism, and capacity to produces fascinating objects and systems. It is a radical shift in the conceptualization and usage of concrete by a community of engineers and builders. Hennebique system appeared as the transformation of the reinforced concrete into a fullservice building material with a set of competing structural system. Concrete enables to free itself from the idea of stiff constructions. While masonry only represents a traditional construction, concrete can be adapted by the architecture with sufficient form. The idea of combining concrete materials with others enhances the abilities in the formation of component on the architectural building
