1950s/60s brutalist/municipal architectural terms

I am looking to describe some windows in a piece of writing. Long vertical glass strip windows divided by thin concrete/metal frames/dividers, most often found in swimming pools, leisure centres and municipal buildings of the 1950's and 1960's - photos within.

This is what I'm thinking of. Is there a term to describe these? Thanks!

Best answer: This is broadly curtain walling - the proportions and materials mark it out more by era.

Carbide has it, that's a glass curtain wall. Do you need further description?
