Shadow and Substance
from the wonderful new world of BLOCK
The new face of concrete masonry can add mood and dimension to any structure. In this library, the solar screen of concrete block adds an accent of beauty to the handsome lines of the building, and diffuses the sunlight into soft patterns of interest in the interior. Your local NCMA member can bring you up to date on solar screens of concrete block. See him soon.
