Phase 4.0: Detail Written Statement & Benchmarks

The increased speed of installation on site, improved quality of the assembly, and the ability to work from inside the building offer great advantages for a unitized wall system. A gridded panel configuration allows for different daylighting options for future needs. An internally glazed unit with small panels provides great flexibility to exchange opaque panels for transparent glass depending on future use. The framing and louver shell emphasize the bridging mass while providing additional protection to fully glazed transient spaces, which are also partially shaded by the building massing. Repairs are made easily by the ability to swap out units, and the clips which rest on the load-bearing floors offer the option for the entire mass to be refaced if so desired in the future.
