How it's used
Primarily used in architectural and construction contexts to describe non structural exterior cladding. While it refers to the entire facade system, it is most frequently associated with modern skyscrapers featuring glass panels. It implies a design where the wall hangs from the building frame rather than supporting the weight of the structure.
