Arigho Larmour Wheeler Director Patrick Wheeler has been invited to be on the jury for the International Concrete Design Competition 2017/18. The theme set for this, the 8th cycle of the biennial competition for students of architecture and design related disciplines was 'Tactility'.

The competition is organized by a consortium of European cement and concrete associations and is open to students registered in a 3 rd level educational institute in one of the participating countries. The 8th cycle of the competition will be hosted by Belgium. The competition is funded in Ireland by Cement Manufacturers Ireland (CMI).

The Concrete Design Competition aims to promote innovative design attitudes related to the use of concrete as a material and a technology. It is characterized by its format; each competition cycle is framed by a theme designating a specific property of concrete.

Nationally chosen laureates will be invited to participate in an international Master Class in August 2018 in Brussels. This Master Class will continue the investigation of the theme.
