fibreC facade at LLC library & learning center, University Vienna

The development of fibreC was inspired by Rieders vision of a concrete cladding panel that is both stable and lightweight, able to withstand the effects of weather and environmental conditions and at the same time sustainable and aesthetic. fibreC the name is an acronym of the words glassfibre and concrete is a glassfibre-reinforced concrete panel that unites the advantages of both glassfibres and concrete. Glassfibre-reinforced concrete is made of purely mineral raw materials, which give the panels their unique characteristics. The authentic appearance creates a vivid facade.

fibreC facade panels are available in two standard sizes: 2500 x 1200 and 3600 x 1200 mm. The large-format panels are 13 mm thin and give architects plenty of scope in the design of individual facades. The panels can be produced in any requested dimensions up to the maximum standard size. Rieder offers cutting-waste optimization for project-specific dimensions. The panels are dyed throughout with natural colour pigments and are available in 10 different colours and three surface textures - FE Ferro (sandblasted), FE Ferro Light (sandblasted at lower pressure) and MA Matt (brushed, smooth surface), with countless creative possibilities regarding colour, structure and form.

project description:

The library and learning centre is one of seven buildings that make up the new campus at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien), designed to accommodate 24,000 students and 1800 staff.

fibreC 3D elements were able to meet all the requirements of the star architect Zaha Hadid, including aesthetics, material quality and the challenge of implementing the design of a slightly curved building cubature with curved concrete panels.
