Vertical pivoting louvers on school, by BAAS [328]
The sun protection becomes the main compositional element of this sunny facade of a school
Over a conventional work plinth protected by a cantilever, two floors are constructed with slats of different height
The slats are vertical packed steel sheets pivoting arround their upper and lower ends. The slats cover both windows and sills and lintels which should considerably benefit summer comfort.
