Composite; Concrete

Description: Original

Concrete is an artificial stone made of a mixture of cement, aggregate (gravel, sand or rock)

and water.

Rationale:

I chose this material beacuse I thought it would be challenging to replicate both the texture

and finish of concrete.

Attributes:

It has an immense compressive strength and an impressive ability, when poured, to adapt to

virtually any form, concrete is fire resistant and is one of the most common building materials.
