Claims12
A building system, comprising:
- a first horizontal support beam and a second horizontal support beam each having at least two spline grooves formed therein;
- a splicing coupler configured to be inserted into a pair of adjacent ends of the first and second horizontal support beams so as to couple the first and second horizontal support beams together along a common longitudinal axis with each of the first and second horizontal support beams having a respective free end located opposite from the respective pair of adjacent ends;
- a first vertical support beam operatively coupled to the free end of the first horizontal support beam;
- a second vertical support beam operatively coupled to the free end of the second horizontal support beam;
- and
- at least one vertical wall screen mounted in at least one of the respective at least two spline grooves of the first and second horizontal support beams,
- wherein the first and second horizontal support beams and the first and second vertical support beams define a viewing area through the at least one vertical wall screen that is unobstructed by any support beam structure.
