WELCOME TO MATERIAL AND FORM VI

The sixth architectural conference MATERIA Y FORMA VI, organised by the Cátedra Blanca de Valencia, took place on 7 and 8 March 2013 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 11 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, Switzerland and Chile 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.
