On a new house built in the uniquely eco-friendly construction material of carbon concrete

In September 2022, the Cube, the world's first house built entirely from carbon concrete, was unveiled in Dresden. It was the result of nearly 30 years of research under the direction of Manfred Curbach at the TU Dresden into a building material with unique advantages for climate protection and resource efficiency. Instead of building massively, we have built filigree, Curbach writes; instead of building hugely, we have thought a lot about what can be done better. Our curved and twisted roof-wall construction Twist is also highly interesting from an aesthetic point of view, which gives us hope that shell construction with carbon concrete will experience a kind of renaissance in the building industry.
