Abstract In Miami, Florida entsteht zur Zeit das Pérez Art Museum Miami nach Plänen von Herzog & de Meuron. Miami liegt in einer durch Hurrikans gefährdeten Zone mit hohen Windlasten. Entsprechend groß sind die Anforderungen an die von seele und Knippers Helbig entwickelte gläserne Außenhülle des Gebäudes. Eine Besonderheit sind die vertikalen Fassadenpfosten aus ultrahochfestem Faserbeton (UHPC). Die Verglasung wird mittels in den Beton eingegossener Edelstahlschienen an den Pfosten angebunden. Aufgrund der Hurrikangefährdung sind die Scheiben mit jeweils zwei laminierten Doppelverglasungen ausgeführt. Bislang wurden Scheiben dieser Größe (max. 5200 × 2300 mm) in einer Zone mit derart hohen Windlasten noch nicht ausgeführt. In einem mehrstufigen Hurrikantest stellen alle Elemente der Fassade ihre Widerstandsfähigkeit unter Beweis. Pérez Art Museum Miami: hurricane resistant glazing. The Pérez Art Museum Miami currently under construction in Miami, Florida is designed by Herzog & de Meuron. The vertical glass facades have been designed in close collaboration between seele and Knippers Helbig, fabricated and installed by seele. Miami is well known to be located in a region with high wind loads and risk of hurricanes, requiring compliance to demanding hurricane resistant specifications for the glass façades. Up until now, the large glass units that are planned ‐ up to approx. 5.20 m high and 2.30 m wide ‐ have not been used in this hurricane prone region. All the elements of the façade must prove their robustness in hurricane tests. The panes of glass are fixed to stainless steel rails cast into the ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) mullions. The joint is either concealed by narrow pressure plates or a toggle‐system is used to fix the glass panels to the mullions. Owing to the threat of hurricanes, each pane consists of two double‐glazing units with a reinforcing interlayer in between. Here, a demanding owner and even more demanding architects, with the help of seele and Knippers Helbig, are pushing material limits.
