Sammlungs- und Forschungszentrum Hall

For the facade design, Rieder, together with the architectural office Franz&Sue, has developed a new product which combines the industrial production process of the merely 13 millimetre thick glassfibre reinforced concrete panels with an artisanal component. The result: Each of the deformed facade elements is just as unique as the collection pieces that are kept in the research and collection centre. The production uses an object similar to the hand axe, over which the material is applied. The hardening of the glassfibre reinforced concrete results not only in the desired imprint, but also in a material-specific, unique fold design, marking the character of eacht element and giving the facade of the monolithic building its liveliness.
