Abstract:
The Cube at the Technical University Dresden, Dresden, Germany, is solely constructed of carbon textile-reinforced concrete. The walls of the central, simple two-story box structure were built using insulated double-wall elements, while the ceilings were constructed with carbon textile concrete precast elements. The curved portion of the building was made by layering concrete and carbon textile and placing insulation boards between those layers.
