South Front of the Valley Baths in Munich
While the remaining three walls of the main swimming pool are solid (side walls constructed of 60 cm thick, thermally efficient masonry), the south wall is entirely constructed of double-glazed units. The pillars and roof lintels were externally insulated and clad with dark-painted aluminium sheeting. The frames of the double-glazed units are made of anodized light metal (Gartner system). A comprehensive report on this construction project was published in "Baumeister," issue 11/1960.
