Description
Work on the expansion of the MASP began in 2019 and comprised the Pietro Maria Bardi building, consisting of 14 floors with 7,821 m² of space, and the recent concession of the belvedere, known as MASP's Free Span – increasing the institution's total area from 10,485 m² to 21,863 m² and increasing exhibit space by about 66%.
Products Used
Approximately 3,000m³ (3,930 yds³) of new concrete was treated with PENETRON ADMIX, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, to ensure impermeability of the new basement structures. PENETRON ADMIX was also used for the 73-m-high exterior concrete panel, which was then sealed with a topical application of PENESEAL PRO, a spray-on liquid sealer, and PENESEAL HYDROGUARD, a liquid repellant surface coating, to form a sub-surface barrier to protect against water penetration and seal hairline cracks.
