Proposed Material: Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)

• Lighter and thinner than traditional precast; approximately 8lbs/SF • Material properties allow for larger pieces to be fabricated, thus fewer seams • Greater strength means less likely to crack

Albee Square, Downtown Brooklyn ( WXY)

Broad Street Seating / Landmarks Preservation Commission February 25, 2020 37 Proposed Tone/Texture: Medium Warm Grey Concrete, Dark Grey Metal

1 • GFRC fabricated with lighter

2 tone than the dark grey granite curb stone 1 • To identify as extension of the granite building base courses in context • Increased aggregate to provide 2 visual interest and depth 1 2 • Metal coated with dark grey, 1 similar to zinc 2 • Provides contrast and similar to dark grey of granite curb
