The public footpath where join the extend of London’s subterranean structure, visually connecting to Roger’s vertical transportation link (classic! if you are Roger’s fan), the only division between the public and the private is his clever use of structural glazing.
Curtain Walling is a non-load bearing glazing system which is generally hung on a buildings structure (hence the curtain reference), but can also be dead loaded. Curtain walling forms an integral part of a buildings envelope and there are a number of factors that must be taken into account during its design including; weather tightness (air permeability, water tightness, wind resistance), acoustic requirements, thermal performance, solar shading, and ventilation. Curtain walling is usually characterised by a square or rectangular grid of mullions and transoms, however designs can be further enhanced to incorporate facets, curves and sloped roofs, Curtain wall facades can also incorporate a variety of inserts including; Windows (parallel opening vents, concealed vents, tilt & turn, pivots, top/side hung), photo voltaic panels and Doors. The curtain wall facades aesthetic appearance can be manipulated to offer a flush appearance with the exclusion of face caps (SSG), or can be given enhanced vertical or horizontal emphasis using a Trame/Aerofoil face cap.
