A panel is configured for attachment to a mounting surface of a building structure. The panel includes a first end surface and a second end surface, spaced from each other along a longitudinal axis; a top edge surface and a bottom edge surface, spaced from each other and offset from the longitudinal axis; and an inner surface and an outer surface, opposed to each other and extending from the first end surface and the second end surface. The inner surface includes a contact portion and a contour portion. The contact portion is disposed on a reference plane. The contour portion is contoured toward the outer surface, away from the reference plane, such that the contour portion defines a channel. The channel extends along at least a portion of a length of the panel, between the first end surface and the second end surface.

A building structure and a kit comprising: a hollow shell; a plurality of exterior panel assemblies attached to an exterior surface of the shell, each panel assembly including: a mounting member extending outwardly from the shell, the mounting member having a first end secured to the shell and a second end located away from the shell; an exterior wall panel secured to the second end of the mounting member so as to be spaced from the shell. According to another aspect, there is also provided a building structure and a kit comprising: a hollow shell defining an interior enclosure sized and shaped to house at least one individual; a plurality of modular wall sections secured to the hollow shell inside the interior enclosure.

A pattern layer formed on a sheet base material, a first surface protective layer formed on the pattern layer, and a second surface protective layer partially formed on the first surface protective layer. The first surface protective layer and the second surface protective layer each have a gloss different to each other. The sheet base material is a thin paper that has a T-type peeling strength of 130 gf/15 mm or more and 210 gf/15 mm or less and an air permeability in accordance with JIS P 8117 of 150 seconds or more.

The fabric mounting system (1) includes a mounting profile (4) adapted to be mounted to a wall or ceiling and at least one fabric retaining element (5) engaging the mounting profile and being adapted to retain an edge (6) of the fabric (2). First and second supporting faces (9, 10) of the mounting profile (4) are mutually tapered in such a tapering direction (T) that a resilient bias of first and second legs (7, 8) of the fabric retaining element (5) urges the first and second legs (7, 8) to slide along the first and the second supporting faces (9, 10), respectively, to thereby displace the fabric retaining element in a direction generally against the tapering direction (T) and in a fabric tensioning direction (F) being transverse to a longitudinal direction (L) of the mounting profile (4) in order to stretch the fabric (2) in its retained position.

A decorative material wherein, in a cross section in a direction orthogonal to a direction where a groove extends, the groove has a first slope part extending from one end of the groove to the deepest part of the groove, and a second slope part extending from the other end of the groove to the deepest part of the groove, wherein when an angle formed by a line segment connecting the one and other ends and a line segment connecting the one end and the deepest part is defined as θ.sub.1, and an angle formed by a line segment connecting the one and other ends and a line segment connecting the other end and the deepest part is defined as θ.sub.2, θ.sub.1 is more than θ.sub.2.

A stainable decorative sheet having good adhesion between a paper base material and a nonwoven fabric with a surface excellent in tactile sensation and stainability, excellent transparency, and a method for coloring the stainable decorative sheet. The stainable decorative sheet includes a paper base material, an adhesive layer, a nonwoven fabric layer, and a transparency improving layer in a predetermined structure, wherein the nonwoven fabric layer partially has a filling part A and a filling part B in a part of voids among fibers of the nonwoven fabric layer.

The present approach automatically generates an optimized building façade design given a set of building design parameters including a specified interior layout. The generated building façade design comprises a set of MegaPanels that are then displayed to the building designer for review and facilitate customization as desired by the façade designer. Some or all of this process can then be repeated when building design parameters are changed thereby facilitating automated and iterative building façade design as differing design parameters and resulting optimized building façade designs are considered.
