Hello, I have a question about Category 1 (Façade Systems & Architectural Skins). The brief asks for the system to be demonstrated on an 8 m × 18 m surface. On Via Brera, the ground floors are mostly shopfronts and entrances. Would it be acceptable for the 8 × 18 m demonstration skin to start above the ground floor (i.e. covering the upper floors only), leaving the commercial ground level free, as long as the full 8 × 18 m surface and the 1.2 × 1.2 m module are respected? In other words, does the 18 m height have to start at street level, or can it be positioned on the building elevation where the façade system is relevant? Thank you for your clarification.
