Poetry in concrete
Inspired by how the weather transforms landscapes, designer Susanne Happle’s Solid Poetry concrete reveals a hidden pattern on contact with water. Possible applications include residential bathroom tiles, outdoor garden pavers, or public sidewalks. The patterns will be permanently visible after a period of time. Terratorium, a Dutch-based materials company, hopes to have the patent-pending technology in production by mid-2007. Terratorium, Eindhoven, The Netherlands. www.terratorium.nl
