Abstract
A building construction system is disclosed in which uniquely configured prefabricated concrete panels of great structural strength and high insulating value are employed. Each building panel, whether horizontal or vertical, is reinforced by transverse structural ties distributed along the panel length. Each structural tie includes a central portion of a reinforcing bar which has respective ends extending into concrete outer panel layers. Voids between the concrete outer layers may be filled with insulation such as polystyrene. A uniquely configured parapet is also disclosed. The parapet, which may extend to any length including the entire circumference of a building, comprises a channel which is generally parallel to the building edge and which is adapted to hold living plants including bushes, flowers and the like as well as small trees in enlarged channel regions. Thus, the utility of a building roof as a decorative and private living space is enhanced.
