Concrete should be understood through its dynamic material properties, revealing its complexity.
The analysis highlights how concrete affects both human and nonhuman relations, emphasizing its broader significance.
Understanding concrete's impacts requires examining its properties across different contexts and time periods for a comprehensive view, suggesting a new approach to its study and application. The focus on dynamic relations opens avenues for interdisciplinary research on materials and their roles in society.
Abstract
Max D. Woodworth and Cecilia L. Chu argue that concrete must be approached in ways that capture its dynamic material properties and its impacts on human and nonhuman relations over time.
