FRZ Leoben, Research and computing center in Leoben, Austria

The FRZ Leoben building features four wings offset by 90 degrees around a central core, incorporating steel construction principles throughout its design.

Between 1969 and 1974, architects Günther Domenig and Eilfried Huth developed the structural design, which received the European Steel Convention award in 1974.

The building earned the local nickname 'Rostschwammerl' due to its Corten steel facade, and a model was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art.

The facility provides 7,250 square meters of space dedicated to plastic technology research, hosting multiple departments and laboratory facilities.

In 2008, the structure underwent renovations that replaced the original rusted steel facade with gray aluminum plates accented with red elements.
