Evolving Concrete 2019
Now in its forth year, Evolving Concrete 2019 recently welcomed more than 120 delegates to the Royal Berkshire Conference Centre in Reading, Berkshire, to enjoy a full day of technical and educational presentations, which embraced this year's theme of 'Fusing architecture, engineering and sculpture'. Many delegates also attended an evening dinner, which was rounded-off perfectly with a speech from boardcaster and architect, Charlie Luxton.
