The project aimed to question the future role of the window detail by exploring new fabrication technologies and materials. The articulation of the window detail revolves around the design of a curved surface that transforms into solid pieces and wireframe elements that travel into space in multiple directions at the same time, changing its section constantly. The solid parts act as concrete walls and the steel wireframe components work as meshes for the glass behind them.
