Perception of Concrete study

I have decided to move forward with my research on peoples' perception of concrete as a building material. I am in the process of creating a presentation with pictures and questions that will be shown to each participant.

I plan on asking everyone a few questions to get to understand their initial ideas about what concrete is, what a concrete building is, etc. Then once the research part is done, I want to show them some examples of concrete buildings that may or may not meet their expectations.

Questions I am considering.
-When I say concrete, in reference to architecture or building, what comes to your mind?
-Do you know of, or have you been to, any concrete buildings?
-If so, describe them.
-Why do you think an architect would choose to make a concrete building?
-Would you ever live in a house made of concrete?
