Description
Description

A visible glazed curtain wall is a prevalent architectural façade system, where the mullions – the vertical and horizontal framing members – are explicitly exposed, creating a distinct grid pattern on the building's exterior. This design not only provides structural support but also adds a rhythm and order to the façade. Each cell or module of the grid typically houses a pane of glass, emphasizing the systematic division and repetition across the building's elevation. The exposed mullions underscore the construction's honesty, articulating the boundary between inside and outside. The visible glazed curtain wall is both functional and aesthetic, offering clarity in design and form.
