[edit] too much modern emphasis
way too much emphasis upon modern curtain walls! Anlace 21:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] non-NPOV tone
Before I start editing, Ahering@cogeco.ca, could you try rewriting your recent edits? The tone employed ("are essential", "areas must have") is more instructive than informative. I do like the LAPD citation. I also worry that you're taking a very limited, first-world perspective in your sweeping statements of requirements ("glazing panels are often required" "The curtain wall itself, however, is not ordinarily required to have a rating"). Please include just WHERE these requirements exist - I doubt very much that the majority of countries across the globe have such stringent requirements, and can't know just where you're talking about without further information.

[edit] too much modern emphasis? non-NPOV?
Curtain walls are, historically and almost by definition, modern and first-world. The bit about "medieval" curtain walls is interesting, but perhaps it's confusing to people coming to this from outside of architecture and structural engineering. It sounds like there's a stylistic choice to be made (you've got your medieval hand-crafted curtain walls and your filthy modernist first-world curtain walls). I came across this article by chance, and I think it's excellent--you just need to underline that the modern and medieval terms are entirely different concepts.--84.48.122.132 19:17, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
