The latest version of Concrete Quarterly has a theme of 'Creative Concrete'. Articles include:

- Foster + Partners’ Queen Alia airport in Jordan is a concrete palace sculpted out of the desert, with more than 50 domes and hundreds of gently curving beams and columns.

- The quirky facade of Munich’s Eurostars Book Hotel finds a novel use for glass fibre reinforced concrete.

 - Creative concrete projects from the UK and abroad, including Cornwall’s Crushed Wall, fabric formwork in South Korea and Dundee’s hidden treasures.
