The Nasher Sculpture Center, home of one of the finest private collections of modern sculpture in the world, is located in Dallas, Texas, in the city's Arts District. The 2.4-acre center, which opened in 2003 consists of a 54,000-square-foot building and will contain more than 300 pieces of sculpture, including major works by Moore, Calder, Picasso, David Smith and other modern masters.
TXI's Expanded Shale & Clay (ES&C) is provided lightweight aggregate from its Streetman manufacturing facility for use as a component in the structural soil mix for this project. Lightweight aggregate in the soil mix helps reduce soil compaction and provides the following additional qualities:
- Environmentally friendly
- Non-toxic
- 100 percent inert and inorganic
- Porous for good drainability
- Insulative material that protects against rapid temperature extremes
