The article appeared in number 293 of Cahiers Techniques du Bâtiment (Technical Building Magazine, Dec-Jan 2010) and shows how adaptable our materials are. A concrete with excellente mechanical resistance and appearance was used to restore the Arles amphiteatre.
The raw but pure character of concrete will give your space a clean appearance which adapts to many decor styles. This warm material, gentle to the touch, is very much suited to floors. Here it creates a beautiful, uniform surface, smooth and elegant. It even makes the room look bigger. It Also, above and beyond its modernity, it is hard to damage and its density means it retains heat, which is so important in terms of energy savings.
Below is a 3 minute video on the use of the high performance concrete used in the restoration of the Arles amphitheatre. It is a material resembling Provence stone which has been perfected particularly for this project. The appropriate colour and strength have been researched and validated.
