Girli Concrete Exhibition in NLA

Interesting Art and craft on building material. Below shows samples of Girli concrete.

What is Girli concrete about?

Ans: It is the use of craft and technology eg. construction and textile or vice versa to create or form a textured fabricated concrete. Therefore making "Concrete a textile" or "Textile a structure". I believe it can consist of any type of personalised design.

Actually touching everyone of these samples, the patterns on them is the textile that has been added during the making of the concrete. I think it is a way of having a feel for art in decorative concrete as a potential building material surface.
But the only thing i question about it is how durable is it and can it be used outdoors on building facades or as a paving material outdoor....
