"Toyo Ito builds a concrete cloud."
This article refers to the wave surface of the crematorium in Kakamigahara, Japan. This roof is constructed of concrete. Hard concrete mix was used on sloping formwork, smoothed with grinding machines, filled, then smoothed again. A waterproof spray was then applied. The article also includes an interresting wall section indicating how the curved structure adheres to a rectilinear interior. Photographs of the construction process are also shown in this magazine article. Well worth a look!
