Daylight dictated a one-way structure, so that windows could be as high in the wall as possible: maximum ‰gH‰h.
Solar heating and night ventilation need large exposed mass areas, provided by the concrete walls and precast floor slabs.
Windows were then sized to yield a 4% DF (daylight factor). Lightshelves on the interior even out the distribution. T-shape windows give wider aperture above lightshelf, and more narrow view windows below.
