This 60’ tall screen is made of two layers of waterjet-cut, 1/4”-thick plate made with a metallic bronze powder coat. The architect who created the initial design concept allowed modifications by the fabricator to meet budgetary and engineering specifications.

The screen is connected to the building structure with knife plates that pass through seams in the exterior glass wall at each floor. Every connection between the building and the screen, and within the screen itself, has slots to allow for movement caused by weather and from the expansion and contraction of the metal without binding.
