Description: This classic 1966 publication remains one of the best resources in the category of modern architectural concrete. Pioneering work into decorative concrete finishes is described through a detailed account of architectural panels built in 1962 and displayed outdoors for four decades at the PCA campus. Constructed by methods that are suitable for both precast and cast-in-place construction, the panels (about 60 of them) are described by constituent materials, mix proportions, and surface treatments (including form liners in their earliest versions).
Filled with color photographs, this publication serves as visual guide, design handbook, and construction manual to specifiers, architects, and contractors alike.
