Rieder fibreC available in Australia

"The great thing about fibreC is the chance to re-evaluate the concrete itself - concrete traditionally speaking: heavy, cold, strong, whereas fibreC allows us to make something very light. So how do you make it more light, how do you make it warmer, how do you get different qualities out of it, how to shift the notion of the stereotypical understanding of the material." Yusuke Obuchi, Co-Director, AA Design Research Lab. For more information, visit http://www.fibrec.com.au. [Image: Zaragoza Bridge. Pavillion for the EXPO 2008 in Zaragoza Spain. Architect Zaha Hadid]
