The Monolith Project is a curated digital repository dedicated to the preservation and study of mid-century concrete forms. Our archive focuses on the intersection of structural honesty, geometric repetition, and the raw materiality of civic infrastructure constructed between 1950 and 1980.
By documenting the weathering of reinforced concrete and the evolution of "Béton brut" surfaces, this survey provides researchers with a longitudinal look at how these massive forms interact with varying urban climates across Eurasia and South Africa.
