The Structural Engineer, Volume 2, Issue 3, 1924
The Architect and Concrete. A theory is sometimes expressed that the use of reinforced concrete is detrimental to artistic architectural expression. This being a theory with which we do not agree we propose devoting certain of our pages each month to the illustration of examples of modern architecture in support of our contention that concrete may be made, in proper hands, as expressive of good design as any other material. To this end, on pages x. and xi., will be found illustrations of a Chinese newspaper printing and publishing office, and a modern factory in Liverpool, both, and especially the latter, of distinctly chaste design. The Man in the Street
