Terra-cotta Facade
A curtain wall system of terra-cotta, glass, and bronze panels clads the east and west facades. The 43,000 pieces of terra-cotta, by NBK Terracotta, are mechanically fastened to a unitized aluminum curtain wall system divided into 4-foot-by-16-foot panels. SHoP architects designed the 3-d wave geometry of the terra-cotta using computational scripting.
