摘要

This study examined the role of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) in addressing contemporary facade design challenges, including the erosion of architectural identity caused by modern materials and high skilled labor costs. It explored how GFRC could revive classical heritage elements while balancing aesthetic innovation, economic efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Using a mixed methodology of comparative quantitative analysis and qualitative case studies, the research found that GFRC not only enabled cost-effective revival of classical styles but also facilitated innovative facade designs unachievable through traditional methods. Examples included (Palazzo Italia (complex modern facades and (Jabal Omar Towers (integration of heritage and modernity. The study recommended standardizing digital manufacturing criteria and analyzing architectural trends. It proposed future research directions, such as integrating 3D printing into GFRC production and developing sustainable glass fibers for harsh climates, positioning GFRC as a bridge between heritage preservation and contemporary innovation.
