The concrete that was used replaced the cement in its mixture with flyash or ground granulated blast furnace slag and has 97 percent recycled steel for its rebar. The humidity in the building (which is crucial to preserving artwork) is controlled by a solar hot water dehumidification system. HOK incorporated a low energy HVAC system, low VOC materials and LED lights on the exterior of the building. The landscape is natural and local vegetation that is irrigated with reclaimed water.

Museum at Sunset
The New Dali Museum by HOK offers a tribute to a remarkable artist while designing for the elements of the location it resides in, makes a low impact on the planet, uses the newest technologies in design to be a unique and creative structure and sets an example of where architecture is heading. This is truly an inspirational masterpiece and there is no better home for Salvador Dali’s, a master in fine arts, works.
