Railway Track Skin

The iron railway track skin, consisting of tracks bolted vertically to the building aims to provide an additional skin to the building, providing shading yet allowing breezes through. It would be that the glass walls behind the skin would be able to be opened, and given that most of these windows/ rooms are only one room deep, and open on both sides, this would allow for the SW breezes to ventilate the rooms.

I have been thinking about the strategy for how these panels could expand to include other recycled materials, but I think that might be another post still to come.
