This week we explored the two different track systems that give us the ability to diminish the time it takes to install the pieces on site. The two attachment systems have both pros and cons that need to be explored to choose the most viable option. The option to the left utilizes pins as the main anchor to the wall track. A track is put on the exterior of the wall with the pins being slid in and anchored into the rail, after the terracotta pieces have been attached to the pins. The option on the right uses the tracks much more traditional option. The tracks act as guides to a hook that drops down and slides vertically onto the rail and holds the terracotta piece from the top and bottom, sequentially hooking the pieces on to create the façade.
