WEEK 5 - Mechanical System

To help offset the thermal effects of the sun I plan on using a louver shade system along the south elevation of my building. This blends with the form very well and provides a continuous horizontal division to help scale the front elevation. Thanks for the reference Eddie.

Matt,
I can't halp but wonder if the lovers in the last image have any shading effect, or if they were just added as trendy eye candy? After all they seem to be teh same profiles facing two directions ninty degrees seperated.
