Window Walls -

I was reviewing a Medical Office Building (designed by an internationally known architectural firm), when we got on to the issue of the window wall system. Their design was boring - more like standard store fronts.



I decided to photograph good examples of interesting window wall systems.

The following are from St. Louis, Missouri -


Using various widths and thickness' give shadows
and a sense of depth to the facade...






















Corner elements are of particular concern...

Patterns of glazing and mullions and the base of the wall
make these designs interesting and rigorous...
