Concrete or composite materials in order to choose between concrete and composite materials, after making various samples and testing, “In addition to the samples, we also studied two reference projects: a composite circle and a concrete facade.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that the concrete has an ideal appearance and feel and meets the expected durability requirements,” said Mark ohm, a senior architectural engineer In bergenop zoom (behen opzom, the Netherlands), a representative facade model was subsequently made.
