The glasses have a 1.5 meters (around 5 feet) module and an inter-floor height, fixed on a tubular structure by means of 6 point fixings for each sheet to counteract the wind loads, of which the upper two were provided for the suspension of the sheet.
In particular, the assignment concerned:

- The static checks of critical areas and analysis of the deformations of the glass
- The hypothesis of possible solutions for putting the works in conformity
