Product description

Product: concrete skin

Product Information:
Library and Learning Center University of Economics Vienna Austria
6.100 m2 concrete skin
440 m2 formparts
Colour: Special & Liquid Black

The building of the Learning and Library Center in Vienna, which has been designed by Zaha Hadid, is at the heart of the 90,000 m² sized premises of the new University for Economics and Business Administration. The two main zones of the building are unmistakeably recognizable by the two interlocking structures: the public area in black and the non-public area in white. Architect Zaha Hadid opted for glassfibre-reinforced concrete panels as distinctive facade material. The Austrian Rieder Group won the bid with its fibreC facade panels. Beyond the differently coloured concrete look, the 13mm thin glassfibre concrete elements were able to meet all the requirements of the star architect, including aesthetics, material quality and the challenge of implementing the design of a slightly curved building cubature with curved panels.

Concept

The 13 mm thin panels, available in a range of colours, surfaces, and textures, offer vast design flexibility for creating customised building envelopes. The material is weather-resistant, durable, and low-maintenance. Custom sizes of up to 5 metres in length enable a versatile architectural design.

The material guarantees absolute safety and fire resistance due to its excellent thermal properties (fire protection class A1 "non-combustible" according to DIN 4102). With its ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, Rieder sets itself high standards for environmental protection. The environmental product declaration, EPD, gives precise indicators for the life cycle assessment.

Rieder developed a CO2-reduced concrete, which is intended to eventually become cement-free. Gradually, the cement in the facade panels is being replaced by natural, local pozzolans. In the first step, 50% of the cement was substituted, resulting in a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions

concrete skin is available in all colour collections:
greyscale: polar white, off-white, ivory, silvergrey, chrome, anthracite, liquid black
bricky: terracotta, coralline, oxide red, burgundy, merlot
timber: terra, larch, oak, walnut, ebony
pietra: sahara, sandstone, cotton, vanilla, almond

Textures: The diverse textures add liveliness and depth to any facade. The various structures create an exciting interplay of light and shadow that changes depending on the angle of view. The different characteristics better emphasise the naturalness of the concrete material and the authentic appearance.

Surfaces:
matt: matt or brushed finish
ferro light: lightly blasted finish
ferro: blasted finish
