Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The disclosed subject matter generally relates to a window assembly. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a vison-enhanced glazing system to provide greater strength and rigidity to a window system and a narrow vertical lined view that enhances the visibility of the exterior from the glazed screen designed with ‘Aline.'

BACKGROUND
[002] A mullion is an important vertical partition used in window, door, screen, or glass curtain wall units, which provides necessary structural support, particularly when combined with horizontal components, commonly known as transoms. Traditional glazing systems utilize a glazing mullion for the construction of vertical glass curtain walls, canopies, skylights, and other similar structures that require large expanses of glazing, maintaining a high level of transparency. Typically, sheets of tempered glass are secured in place by clamping and connected to the glazing by means of a structural silicone sealant or metal patch plates. Glass mullions are usually suspended from the head structure and can span distances greater than 20m, efficiently transmitting wind, snow, and self-weight loads back to the primary structure.

[003] In conventional glazing systems, such as unitized, semi-unitized, and frameless, rectangular and oval-shaped mullions and transoms have been the standard for decades in architectural glazing construction. However, such shapes have become commonplace and do not meet the requirements of modern architectural practices. The need for horizontal members, such as transoms and supports, has always been necessary in standard glazing systems to enhance their strength, particularly at eye-level where they can interrupt the view through the glazed screen towards the building's interior or exterior. Nevertheless, the rectangular and oval-shaped mullions that are currently employed in the industry are prone to buckling when subjected to loading, and hence, horizontal members and supports are typically required every two to three meters in height to prevent failure. This restriction prevents the use of jumbo glass, making it difficult to construct large glazed screens vertically.

[004] In existing glazing systems, horizontal members, such as transoms and supports, are required to enhance the strength of the glazing systems at eye level. However, such horizontal members can interfere with the view through the glazed screen towards the building's interior or exterior. Rectangular and oval-shaped mullions, which are currently prevalent in the industry, are susceptible to buckling when subjected to loadings. Consequently, horizontal members and supports are typically required every 2 to 3 meters in height, making it impossible to use large/jumbo glass for constructing vast glazed screens vertically. There is thus a need for a digitally engineered glazing mullion system that can withstand structural loadings, thermal conductivity, and expansion without the need for horizontal support while still providing optimal visibility throughout the glazed panel for building entrances and glazed screens.

[005] In light of the aforementioned discussion, there exists a need for a vision-enhanced glazing system that would overcome the disadvantages mentioned above.
