Beton - in Form gegossene Idee

摘要

Beton hat in der Freiraumgestaltung keine Tradition und ein eher schlechtes Image. Planer und Handwerker müssen sich intensiver mit den bautechnischen Eigenschaften und gestalterischen Möglichkeiten befassen, um Beton zum akzeptierten Baustoff zu machen.%Concrete has been in use as open space design for a mere 50 years, but its unimaginative use in post-war planning, and serious quality defects, such as streaks, rust spots and cracks, resulting from hurried construction work, mean that the aesthetic potential of concrete is frequently not recognised. This is compounded by the fact that it is regarded as a cheap material and one that is easy to work with and thus as not being particularly valuable. Neither beliefs are necessarily true. Greater imagination in the use of prefabricated components and in combining concrete with other, more exclusive materials could improve its image greatly.
