WELCOME TO MATERIAL AND FORM V

The fifth architectural conference MATERIA Y FORMA V, organised by the Cátedra Blanca de Valencia, took place from 3 to 5 March 2011 in the auditorium of the Polytechnic University of Valencia. 

MATERIA Y FORMA, together with the International Conference on White Architecture, CIAB, is the international meeting point for the architectural debate on white or coloured concrete. For the past 10 years, they have provided a forum for debate and a suitable framework for the public presentation and exchange of experiences through the best concrete buildings built in recent years. This brings future architects into closer contact with the business world in general and the concrete sector in particular. 

In this edition, architects from Spain, Brazil and Portugal showcased their latest concrete projects. 

As a result of these conferences, an international catalogue of architecture built with white concrete has been compiled, which will be added to the publications created by the Cátedra Blanca and which are already widely distributed through university libraries and specialised bookshops, creating a specific architectural catalogue for white concrete, a material that is already fully established as a noble material in architecture.
