I like the fabric screens at the WEA Trust building- could work well to screen out low-sun, especially in the late afternoons, while not impeding long views out and cross-ventilation. The screens could also be screen printed as banners!
that would tie in really well with the way 'posters' are being used on buildings here already...like images of the king across the top 20 floors of a skyscraper. This material is REALLY common. (and hopefully, therefore, cheap and easily replaced!) The thing that worries me a lot about weathering here is black mold and how it ends up covering so much.
Yes, mould is a very real problem- another thing to study! Funny you never see it shown on architect's presentation drawings- nor graffiti.
