This article contains the description of the composition and functioning of the glazed façade of the British pavilion in the EXPO'92 World Fair in Seville. A panel of 70x 18 m serves as a base for a large waterfall which will soothe the heat of Seville. The dimensions of the glass pieces are 2.5x1.8 m and they are 12 mm thick with a small spotted weft occupying 20% of the surface. The structural silicone is the only unifying element used. The hanging structure, to which the panels are tied, is reticulate and is composed of: Vertical ties of 8 mm of diameter, horizontal aluminium profiles, bracing pieces made of stainless stell and fitting pieces in the upper part. Another prominent feature of this façade is the integration of the whole system of pipework and tubes necessary for the functioning of the waterfall.
