Description
Design a new type of simplified anchoring system for the façade elements that can provide a fast and efficient installation. This new system can be screwless or use a very limited number of screws and be able to provide a strong mechanical connection required by the loads applied to the façade system. The type of loads that could act on the façade system are wind loads and dead loads. The new anchoring system could be a new, out-of-the box concept or an improvement on the current anchoring system.
