Concrete Architectural Associates Information

according to concrete, translating functionality and ease of use always depends on the given situation. function has no definitive style. a museum needs a different design solution than a coffee bar does, or a school or casino. and in outward appearance, they are nothing like each other. good design always starts with good analysis. a truly functional design must always be accompanied by an appropriate and stimulating concept. we live in a rapidly changing world with new lifestyles that demand radically different solutions than those that were offered one or two generations ago. more often than not, these solutions represent a complete break with existing, traditional types of designs for buildings and interiors. concrete believes that the direction of this innovatory movement is clearly moving towards pure analysis and a highly consistent design concept. that is why concrete’s designs are both obvious and yet, simultaneously, unexpected. the basis for this successful approach – according to concrete – is the lack of distinction between the expressiveness of the different design disciplines.
