Abstract
This paper talks about material aging and quality perception of concrete artifacts and discusses how both can affect the user experience. It explains how innovative concrete recipes and manufacturing techniques gave rise to alternate uses while referring to critical milestones that triggered change throughout the material’s history. The authors observe changing attitudes towards perfection and imperfection and discuss sustainable and emotionally-durable trends that embrace material ageing. The research reveals significant progress in concrete technologies. It will remain the most prescribed building material for the expansion of the urban world. Learning to better compose with material ageing is therefore necessary and of high relevance to design education and all disciplines concerned.
