3.1 Bracing
As it stands, the structure formed by the fixed panels, as described in paragraph 1.4, is not stable, and if the walls were left as they are, they would deform under wind pressure.

Definition
Bracing ensures that the building has the properties of a dimensionally stable solid. To achieve this, all loads on the structure must be transmitted to the slab and the entire periphery of the walls:
vertical loads induced by the weight of structures and operating or climatic surcharges (snow),
horizontal wind loads.
Surfaces directly exposed to the wind, known as "upwind", experience pressure,...
