| Abstract: |
This paper discusses the architectural and structural engineering concepts for the recently completed Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) with Herzog & de Meuron (HdM). The outcome is a building that responds to the environment and works well in terms of efficiency of materials, energy and water. The design is discussed in detail to highlight the expressive use of structural concrete both for the architecture and as a means of moderating the climate. The various concrete finishes and ideas behind the building structure and their interaction with the architecture are explored to reveal the depth of thinking, the coordination with other disciplines and the interaction with the contractor required to achieve such a building. |
