System description:
This system represents a modular facade unit that integrates a structural frame, glazing system, and horizontal shading elements.
Its primary function is to regulate daylight, shading, and visual openness while controlling material use and facade performance.
Key functions:
- Control solar shading and daylight penetration
- Maintain visual openness and transparency
- Support glazing and shading through a structural frame
- Balance environmental performance and material intensity
Main components:
- Structural frame (timber frame and sub-frames)
- Multi-layer glazing system
- Aluminum sub-frame and connection elements
- Horizontal shading fins
- Connection interface to the main building structure
Key adjustable parameters:
- Facade module size and proportions
- Frame depth and section size
- Glazing thickness and number of layers
- Number and size of horizontal shading fins
- Geometric openness and shading coverage
