The use of Þber cement a composite material made of sand, cement, and cellulose fibers has undergone a real renaissance in the past decade. Buildings by Gunter Behnisch, Bearth & Deplazes, Coop Himmelb(l)au, MVRDV, Morphosis, and many others have exploited its tremendous formal and chromatic versatility. The new generation of Þber cement slabs has air and water permeability characteristics that make it unrivaled for applications such as roof, interior construction, and object design.
