Take a scroll through Pinterest or interior design publications, and you’ll quickly notice that concrete is experiencing a new revival in design. But the images you’ll find are not the DIY planters you’d expect \u2014 they’re sleek, minimalist interiors and exteriors. Concrete is now seen as a material that conveys luxury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In part, this shift is thanks to glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC), a material that makes futuristic concrete designs possible. It was invented in the 1940s<\/a>, but it wasn’t frequently used in buildings until the 1970s. With it, you can achieve crisp edges, organic shapes, and any desired color, allowing designers to expand upon the geometric shapes frequently used in Bauhaus<\/a>-era concrete structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
