It’s got a nice look, doesn’t it? Not exactly the most common look for a glass curtain wall, at least by today’s standards. If you’re interested in learning more about this type of construction, I’d check out the Sweets Network from McGraw-Hill, my employer. They have a great directory of manufacturers that you can contact with questions.
