The design of the world's first carbon fiber concrete building is officially released! The innovative building, called "Cube", was designed by HENN Architecture.
A 220-square-metre laboratory in the heart of the Fritz-Foerster-Platz of Dresden University of Technology, it combines a laboratory and an event space that sets a model for architectural design and structural innovation at the institution.
The conference and exhibition spaces in the building are open to the public and naturally form a hub for student activity. The coexistence of laboratories and staff gatherings will lead to more knowledge exchange, cross-border collaboration, and closer distance between researchers.
In fact, in addition to being a place of experimentation and exchange, Cube itself is a test building and demonstration project for the use of carbon fiber concrete. HEINSTEIN Architecture and Dresden University of Technology have a long history of innovative research in the field of "C (carbon concrete composite)", which is also supported by the German Federal Ministry of Science and Education.
In this project, HENN Construction carried out in-depth research and development on the combination of carbon and high-performance concrete. With this new lightweight and robust building material, architects can achieve more flexible designs while being more energy efficient – an innovative material that can reduce carbon emissions during project construction by 50%.
In addition to the rapid progress on the technical level, the designers also carried out a lot of innovative work on the architectural design of this project. The roof and walls of the building merge like fluids, interpreting the textile properties of carbon fiber in this combination. This design heralds the future of architecture – valuing the combination of environmental awareness and free form, while permeating the most basic architectural elements with a radical rethinking of the architectural form. The walls and ceiling are no longer separate elements, but as a connected whole, they form a seamless functional integration. Skylights on the roof add an organic effect to the overall form of the building. Through architectural design, carbon concrete demonstrates in an impressive way the practicality of technology and its intuitive impact on architectural design. It can be said that because of the carbon concrete, the Cube has become a sculpture.
