Concrete has remade the world. Engineers, architects, material scientists, and the cement industry have, in turn, developed and shaped it along the way. To understand how concrete became the building material of choice, this book examines organisations, concepts, and techniques that enabled its ubiquitous usage. Focussing on Switzerland, it examines, for the first time, the institutionalisation of cement in the 1880s to the peak years of concrete in the 1960s.
