CONCRETE

These are examples of concrete on the GW Main Campus.  The railings, steps and sidewalk are all concrete.
This is the underside of a parking garage.  The concrete is supported by METAL steel beams.

I was shocked to see that the ceiling for the inner rooms of the National Gallery of Art are formed concrete.  It's widely used through out the building.
Concrete is a very diverse building material.  It can be used for walls, interior and exterior, floors and ceilings.  Here are examples of reinforced and formed concrete.

  1. There are many examples of concrete in the Metro, many 2nd 1/2 of the 20th century buildings and some interiors.
