About

Concrete Indonesia examines the impact of the production and use of concrete in the Dutch Indies and Indonesia. We use a material lens to examine the built environment and heritage formation before, during, and after the transition to political Independence in Indonesia. Our multidisciplinary team focuses on the materiality of the colonial built environment (buildings, infrastructures, and landscapes) to examine the local and transregional networks of fabrication, production, distribution, use, and decay of concrete.
