Façade glass-panel? (112)

Again, we can see a nearly completely glazed façade that faces northwest.

The purpose of this decision can be clearly understood when you get inside one of the classrooms behind the façade.

Aragon Street is the background added to the room. 66.1 AC/16/88.1 AC glass is designed to prevent excessive noise. Thermal loses are again the weak point. 

Sun protection is achieved due to randomly coloured-glass vertical slats. These slats are fixed with randomly variable angles. This range in angles and colours give a brightness to the façade that has turned into a benchmark what used to be just one more chamfer in the Barcelona Eixample.
