Enterprise Concrete's Dirk McClure and Finnish architect Lena Weckstrom will share how their companies achieve precast surface texturing on Sept. 22 in Lawrence.
Join AIA Kansas for lunch in Lawrence on Friday, Sept. 22 for a one-hour seminar on structural precast concrete. The event is presented courtesy of Enterprise Concrete and Dirk McClure.
McClure will co-present the session with Finnish architect Lena Weckstrom. Together, they will share information on the novel process for imparting patterns and images to precast concrete. "Precast surface texturing allows for unlimited pattern possibilities," says McClure. "The process can provide almost photographic-like imagery on exterior wall surfaces."
