The Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation, a magical place imagined by Frank Gehry at the request of Bernard Arnault, President of the LVMH group, is gradually taking shape in the heart of the Paris’s Bois de Boulogne. The American-Canadian architect (Pritzker prize 1989), has designed a building wrapped with a big glass canopy (glass sails), comprised of assorted concrete facades in geometrical shapes, as original as they are complex, called icebergs …made in Ductal® using a unique process recently awarded by the French Concrete Industry Federation.

Based in Fiume Veneto, Italy, Il Cantiere is a precaster specializing in unique Ductal® products. Founded in 2006, the company is the result of a collaboration between two creative people: Cinzia Palazzetti, with 30+ years of industry experience and Luigi Rossi, a designer fascinated by the potential of Ductal®.
