Leca Stones
The fan shaped conference center has a foundation of porous concrete called Leca. The porosity makes the material heat insulating, strong and frost-proof – as well as lightweight. The porosity minimises material use for the foundation, compared to more traditional materials. Leca is an inorganic material and cannot be destroyed by rot, fungus or insects.
