Fabricator: Coreslab
Located in downtown Miami, in the center of Museum Park and surrounded by a 12 hectare greenspace, the new Pérez Art
Museum Miami (PAMM) is a striking facility complete with public gardens, terraces and sculptures. Designed by architects
Herzog & de Meuron, it combines concrete and glass with elegance; a unique architectural creation in which to showcase works
of art as well as provide educational activities, relaxation and dining.
The museum overlooks Biscayne Bay, where frequent tropical storms and exposure to the salt/sea air can cause serious
problems for buildings in the area.
Ductal®, our ultra-high performance concrete, to meet the challenge
To meet the aesthetic and resilience requirements for this project, our ultra-high performance concrete, Ductal® was
chosen to produce approximately 100 long-span, precast vertical mullions to blend with the structure's cast-in-place
elements and support the large curtain wall glazing which surrounds the building. To minimize view obstructions, the mullions are
tall (up to 4.9 m), thin and sinuous. Overall, the structure is:
• discreet; harmoniously integrated into the surrounding environment.
• resilient and sustainable; the UHPC mullions provide superior resistance to hurricane force winds, impact, abrasion and
salt/sea air.

`
Conceived as a panelized system, the frame
is made of two forms of Ductal. Digital
modeling and CNC milling at Georgia Tech
created undulating flexible molds in which the
concrete was set. Triple glazing reduces
acoustic transmission while providing high
thermal performance, natural day lighting,
and transparency. The glazing, designed as
replaceable, repairable panels, is installed
directly into the concrete frame. Within
spandrel cassette panels, non-freezing
liquids flow and capture solar energy that is
transmitted for use as radiant heat, domestic
hot water production, and dehumidification of
ventilation systems. The heat recovery
systems are optimized to function in both
winter and summer. Thermal performance is
considered exceptional for this unified curtain
wall system due to the elimination of metal
units bridging the exterior and interior.

Bar Agricole
64
San Francisco, USA
Designer: Aidlin Darling Design
Built: 2010
Fabricator: Concrete Works Inc.

Working in their 12,000-square-foot, pre-World War
II manufacturing facility, the Concreteworks team
created metal formwork for the banquette’s dark
gray Ductal elements; the at 5-by-5-by-5- foot
pieces are formed with a seat on either side of a
parabolic backrest. The entire cast form is only one
inch thick. A special form with one seat and one ﬂat
side was made for the end of the seating row, and
the curling base of each banquette is also cast from
a separate mold. A three-piece host stand topped
with two-inch reclaimed oak mirrors the seats, which
are topped with slender, curving pieces of oak for
comfort. Like the restaurant’s reclaimed elements
and locally fabricated materials, Ductal will help the
project achieve LEED Platinum certiﬁcation
because it requires fewer raw materials and limits
fabrication waste.
