Residential construction in series with precast concrete elements

From the „slab“ to architecture – „Steinzeugpark“ development in Bretten

The „slab“ – in general, unfortunately encumbered with a negative image, which is predominantly due to sociological circumstances and urban development aspects. A uniform, dull and gray concrete façade provides this image with a face, which the „slab“ does not deserve in the propose sense – i.e. construction in series by means of precast concrete elements.

It is not possible to discuss the first-mentioned reasons here because many disciplines had already been concerned with them in the past and will still be in the future, too. However, we in the construction industry can rather work on the...
