Day 19 – Tuesday April 8th

  • Due for next class (Anchorage & Connections):

  • Model the appropriate anchorage for your glazing system using the links below and what was discussed in class. This does not need to be parametric and only one family is needed for your model, to be copied to all appropriate locations.
  • All progress for both rainscreens and glazing must be posted to Miro before class on Thursday. This is your last chance for feedback and troubleshooting before heading into spring break to catch up!!!
