The semi-transparent glass curtain wall has been developed to not only act as a shading system, but to also optimize the use of natural light within the indoor public spaces, forming a solar greenhouse effect in the winter. Meanwhile, in the summer, it serves as the ventilation system, enhancing airflow circulation inside and outside of the building.
