hi everyone! i'm looking for the construction details(stratigraphy of the wall) of the skyscrapers built in the years between 1970 and 2000 because i have to calculate the average transmittance of the housing of these skyscrapers.

Try Architectural Graphics Standards or look in any of the professional Architectural magazines from the period - they commonly had a section for the "latest" details for well-known projects. The local library should have them...real interesting reading...

Or try contacting glass/curtain wall manufacturers.
