In exactly one week I'll be entering a lecture theatre...

For some reason, from an aesthetic point of view, I really like exposed reinforced concrete as a building material.

There are a lot of nice examples out there, that I can't think of at the moment... I'm sure the one or two people reading this probably won't find this post very interesting anyway....and I doubt the concrete aesthetic would be to their liking (I'm referring to Stan here, who's more of a farmhouse/Irish countryside kinda gal).

P.S. this is cool. I felt like a boss when I saw it because I could identify 5/6 of them.
