Curtain Wall Design

 This is the image of the curtain wall that will be used in our interpretive center.  The curtain wall is at a 10 degree slope so the structure I propose is shown here to hold up the glass.

Here is a view of the curtain wall from the human perspective.  This is what would be viewed from ground level.

This image shows the materials I used to make the structure.  I cut pieces out to matte board and etched fold lines in them so they could fold together and fit together like a puzzle.  This had to be one of the most satisfying models I have built solely because the pieces fit together so well and it too not a long time to put together.

Here I have a view of my curtain wall that I made in sketchup.  The cables are shown here that connect the spider brackets to the panes of glass.  The solution I came up with for connecting the curtain wall to the roof is also shown.
