The subject of the study is a bespoke rainscreen system designed for the Grand Theatre of Rabat, Morocco (Figure 1). The project presents a complex façade geometry and consists of a 1800-seat theater, an open-air amphitheater with a capacity of 7000 people, a rehearsal space and a restaurant.

The rainscreen system consists of fiberglass individually cast reinforced concrete (GRC) panels supported at four points or more by adjustable steel brackets fixed to the primary structure of the building.
