Rieder Campus: Fertigungshallen
Winner
Excellent Architecture
Circular Design
Details
To expand its production capacity, the facade specialist Rieder constructed a new 6,000 m² hall as a hybrid structure combining timber and concrete. Over 1,300 m³ of timber were used in the project, including 180 large timber pyramids as ceiling elements. Their distinctive geometry maximises natural light. The front elevation was clad with production offcuts from the manufacture of glassfibre reinforced concrete facade panels. Through comprehensive data analysis and generative design techniques, the architectural design process was reversed, using existing material as the basis for a new facade concept.
The Jury‘s Statement
The sophisticated combination of wood and concrete gives »Rieder Campus: Fertigungshallen« a powerful presence and a coherent aesthetic. Especially impressive is the harmonious interplay of functional ceiling elements and a façade made from production offcuts. The consistent material strategy and reversed design process exemplify sustainable architecture that sets standards in relevance and design quality.
