Pivotable building-facade panel
With a panel body 10 and one part of a two part releasable pivot 14 at one end of the panel. This part connects with a second part of the pivot 42 in a lateral direction when the body is in one position 10b’. The second part 42 can be attached to the opposing end of the panel body. When the body is in a second position 10b’’’ the first part of the pivot is retained to the second part. The system may have a building support structure or mullion 32 that the panels attach to. The panel may have a fastening 22 for attaching it to the support structure, which can be barb shaped and lock by interference or press fitting. A system and installation method is also described. Also included is a façade panel, for locking to adjacent panels, with an interlock at each end and a method of constructing the façade off site whereby the receiving elements on the building support are positioned according to a desired pitch or spacing.
