Abstract:
Precast concrete provides many design opportunities for the creation of original architectural masterpeices. Formerly, architectural trends were dominated by steel and glass type high-rise construction, but in recent years there has been a major shift to precast concrete. Examples of outstanding ar-chitectural achievement with precast are evidenced throughout the nation.
