One week since IASS–IWSS 2026 in Turin!

A few impressions of the Event Horizon Pavilion at OGR Torino.

Developed together with Politecnico di Torino, SINTEF, MIT Media Lab and the University of Bologna, the pavilion brought computational design and fibre-composite fabrication together at full scale.

One of its most striking features is the interplay between two layers of red and blue fibres. Depending on your viewing angle, one colour becomes more dominant than the other, creating a dynamic colour-shifting effect as you move around the structure.

And when the lights go down, the pavilion reveals yet another side of its character. Its glow-in-the-dark effect adds a special touch, highlighting the intricate fibre patterns and transforming the structure after dark.

For FibR, it was a great opportunity to present our work, meet researchers and industry partners, and exchange ideas around lightweight composite structures and digital fabrication.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and to all our project partners for making this possible!

From black-hole physics to fibre composite fabrication.

FibR is proud to be an official partner of IASS–IWSS 2026 in Turin .iwws.2026.

As part of our contribution to the conference, we fabricated the Event Horizon Pavilion - an interdisciplinary project with contributors from Politecnico di Torino, , MIT Media Lab, Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna and FibR.

Inspired by the physics of a rotating black hole, the pavilion translates simulated photon trajectories and the curvature of spacetime into an architectural structure and spatial experience.

At FibR, we translated the computational model into physical production using Coreless Filament Winding. For this particular pavilion, the carbon- and glass-fibre structure was fabricated by hand, following winding patterns and material placement derived from the digital model.

Meet the FibR team at IASS–IWSS 2026
We will have a company stand throughout the conference. Come by to meet us, learn more about our fibre composite technology, see what we are working on and discuss potential projects or collaborations.

You can also find FibR material samples in the STT – Show/Touch/Tell area.

For many retail, office and public developments, the car park is the first and last space users encounter - and often the most underdesigned and underutilised one.

This lightweight, design-oriented PV parking structure offers an attractive alternative to conventional systems. Our load-bearing roof modules offer extraordinary structural performance while remaining ultra-lightweight with a filigree, fibrous appearance that delivers a stunning visual effect.

A variety of materials, colors, and patterns are available to meet high-standard design requirements. Modules of different sizes are available to accommodate various parking space dimensions, and integrated rails provide compatibility with a wide range of mainstream photovoltaic panels on the market.

In a series of upcoming posts, we want to give a clearer view of our production process - what it is capable of and how flexible it is in adapting properties to specific project needs.

To start, here is one of the possible designs of shading elements.

In the images, you can see how changing the pattern density directly affects the level of shading. Together with adjustments to angle and opening size, we can achieve optimal lighting conditions depending on the building’s location, orientation, and other parameters.

We are preparing more illustrations showing different configurations of shading elements, including lighting simulations.

In the video, you can see how easily these parameters can be adjusted. What makes this especially powerful is that our production technology supports such changes without major modifications to the process - it’s essentially a matter of updating the code. This means that within one product line, each element can have unique properties.

Equally important is our experience and know-how. We support our clients at every stage - whether developing a solution together or working with an existing design.

More insights into our technology and materials are coming soon. Stay tuned.

Cities need more than benches and canopies - they need spaces for climate, comfort and identity.

A family of shading structures - one purpose, multiple geometries. FibR develops site-specific solutions using a consistent design and fabrication methodology. Geometry and material expression adapt to context - from linear canopies to tree-like structures.

Our structures
• create shade and reduce overheating,
• form comfortable meeting and waiting zones,
• integrate lighting, PV and greenery where needed.

Lightweight fiber composite systems enable large spans with minimal material. Open structures provide airflow, filtered daylight and spatial permeability.

Concept renders illustrating possible applications. Each project is developed individually.

Städte brauchen mehr als nur Bänke und Überdachungen - sie brauchen Räume für Klima, Komfort und Identität.

Eine Familie von Schattensystemen - ein Zweck, unterschiedliche Geometrien. FibR entwickelt standortspezifische Lösungen mit einer einheitlichen Methodik. Geometrie und Materialität werden je nach Kontext angepasst.

Unsere Strukturen
• schaffen Verschattung und reduzieren Überhitzung,
• bieten Aufenthalts- und Wartebereiche,
• integrieren Beleuchtung, PV und Begrünung.

Leichtbau aus Faserverbund ermöglicht große Spannweiten bei minimalem Materialeinsatz. Offene Strukturen sorgen für Luftzirkulation und gefiltertes Licht.

Konzept-Renderings möglicher Anwendungen. Jedes Projekt wird individuell entwickelt.

Behind the scenes from production and installation for the GEMÜ Headquarter Atrium project.

The pattern is built from 64 large, 170 medium, and 369 small triangles. To streamline on-site work, we preassembled the geometry into larger installation groups. This made the construction phase faster, cleaner, and highly precise, with consistent joints and alignment.

Haven’t seen the final result yet? Check our previous post.

Einblicke hinter die Kulissen aus Fertigung und Montage des Projekts GEMÜ Headquarter Atrium.

Das Muster besteht aus 64 großen, 170 mittleren und 369 kleinen Dreiecken. Um die Montage vor Ort zu beschleunigen, haben wir die Geometrie in größeren Einbaugruppen vorgefertigt. So verlief die Baustellenphase schneller, sauberer und besonders präzise, mit konstanten Fugen und exakter Ausrichtung.

Silence, translated into geometry.

For the GEMÜ Headquarter Atrium in Ingelfingen, we produced flat, white-on-white composite wall panels where depth appears through shadow. The pattern follows a hierarchical triangle tessellation across three scales, turning repetition into a calm architectural rhythm.

A quiet design language, precise in detail, adds structure and depth to the atrium without overpowering the space.

Stille, übersetzt in Geometrie.

Für das GEMÜ Headquarter Atrium in Ingelfingen haben wir flache Faserverbund-Wandpaneele in einer White-on-White-Anmutung gefertigt, bei denen Tiefe durch Schatten entsteht. Das Muster folgt einer hierarchischen Dreiecks-Tessellation in drei Maßstäben und übersetzt Wiederholung in einen ruhigen architektonischen Rhythmus.

Eine ruhige Formensprache, präzise im Detail, gibt dem Atrium Struktur und Tiefe, ohne den Raum zu dominieren.

Robotic-fabricated handrail infill made from natural flax fibre - our contribution to the Smart Circular Bridge (Flachsbrücke Ulm). Coreless winding combined with robotics enables both repeatable modules and freely programmable geometries where each component can be unique-shapes that are difficult to manufacture with conventional methods. Fully weather-exposed natural fibre components, designed for outdoor durability and compliant with public pathway handrail safety regulations.

Project context: Smart Circular Bridge - a pedestrian and cycling bridge over the (Kleine) Blau in Ulm, near Ulm Minster. The bridge integrates sensors for long-term monitoring and features a sound-art concept that translates structural signals into live audio.
