DESIGN : Charles Godbout, Luc Plante
Glasswave, a new concept in curtain walls, is a “multiaxial” system based on the principle of vertical mullions with cylindrical rather than rectangular profiles. This innovative approach means that structures with multidirectional connections can be created, increasing tenfold the possible geometric combinations in glass wall assembly.
One of the key points of the concept lies in the principle of a horizontal mullion with a “sliding nose”, wich solves the problem of the meeting angles. Thanks to the regularity of the structural pattern, Glasswave offers great refinement in it’s architectural expression, especially in curved wall configurations.
