The concrete structure nestled in the Coed Coesau-Whips Woodland near Rudry, between Caerphilly and Cardiff, has been overgrown for 60 years, but even then it would have been hard to spot.
Perkol-Finkel, a marine biologist, modified the composition, texture, and design of concrete so that it fosters growth of native flora and fauna while increasing the operational life span and stability of the concrete structure.
FORBES: Women Show Construction Industry How to Rebuild Better, Stronger
Officials said they could not rule out the possibility of a meltdown, which occurs when nuclear fuel rods cannot be cooled and melt the steel and concrete structure containing them, at all three troubled reactors at the plant.
FORBES: Fukushima's Last Stand: All But 50 Workers Evacuated
Opened in 1962, the bird-like concrete and glass structure envelops visitors in a swooping, cloudlike interior covered in more than five million dime-sized porcelain tiles.
Until we put in place a concrete plan and structure that sends a clear signal to the markets that Europe is standing behind the euro and will do what it takes, we're going to continue to see the kinds of turmoil that we saw in the markets today -- or was it yesterday?
In many cases, that means replacing a round pipe with a wide concrete box-like structure.
One way to tamper with the internal structure of concrete is to use nanoparticles.
Despite its availability all over the world and its ease of use, the molecular structure of concrete had remained elusive for decades.
The modernist structure is built of concrete and glass, with an undulating copper roof that rises to an open semi-circle at its center.
The structure with thin concrete slabs at irregular heights and no exterior walls, leaving vehicles on open display is more than a place to stash cars.

Hovering close to the ground, each of these thin-shell dwellings is made entirely out of a single concrete slab stretched out to create an energy efficient structure that is environmentally greener than traditional construction methods and cheaper and faster to produce.
This study found that concrete which contained a high proportion of long steel fibres in its structure worked best.
While the old pier was held up by wooden pilings, the new structure likely will be built with a mix of wooden and concrete supports and made to meet tougher standards set by Seaside Heights and the state.
Pile: long heavy section of timber, concrete or metal, driven into the earth or seabed as support for another structure.
As a pre-fabricated structure it also took less time to construct and was cheaper than a conventional steel and concrete building, says Liddell.
Basements provide good protection if equipped with a suitable door and a concrete roof, but basements of pier-beam houses would leave their occupants exposed and vulnerable if the structure above them were blown away, said Ernst Kiesling, a former professor of civil engineering at Texas Tech.
