Porto Alegre (Brazil)

Clear protection for a white concrete museum

Designed by Álvaro Siza, the Iberê Camargo Foundation, Porto Alegre intrigues by its L shape consisting of three cuboids. After the project was finished the architect wanted to have the concrete exterior protected from damage to ensure it would keep its original appearance. ProtectGuard®, which is completely invisible and non-filmforming, was the perfect method to provide durable protection while respecting the concrete.
