Concrete Mullions Corbu used concrete to form the mullions between glazed panels around the curved portions of the plan. These ondulatories were precast and set in place as the glazing was installed.
Structural handrails In many of Corbu’s projects using these ondulatories, the concrete was too thin and began to deflect, breaking the glazing. Here, and in other projects, a steel rail has been added to both brace the ondulatories and act as a guard rail, keeping people from walking through the glass!
