Dallas Facades: Frames

I still like the frames version the best, especially when you look at the overall facades (see drawing a couple posts down). But I think what was not really working is when the frames got very thick and the glazing ended up looking less like frames and more like punched openings. They were thickening to accommodate more pv surface, but instead of the frame itself being pv, we can use a consistent frame dimension and just change what the infill is: either pv or glass. That way we can keep the frames thin and more elegant across all facades, regardless of how much solid/pv there needs to be. I think we can render the infilled pv to look just subtly different than the glass, as opposed to solid and black.

This will also allow for a slight profile to the frames without worrying about affecting the performance of the pvs. It'll help delineate each frame.

Im still working on this one.
