A self-bearing curtain wall system is provided, the system including a matrix of unitized kinematically integrated cladding panels flexibly joined to a structural member so as to thereby responsively anchor said matrix of unitized cladding panels. Adjacent cladding panels of the matrix of unitized cladding panels are responsively linked horizontally and vertically for horizontal and vertical rotation. Horizontally adjacent cladding panels of the matrix of unitized cladding panels are responsively joined to a cable type structural member via an anchor fixture, which allows the structural member to move freely along the wall.

The portable fire curtain system of claim 1 wherein the bag connector is a rope and the lower bag connector deployment bag is a lower rope deployment bag, said lower rope deployment bag having a hole in the bottom thereof and a portion of said rope near its middle protrudes out of said hole, said portion of said protruding rope having a snap attached thereto for attaching a weight thereto. 3. The portable fire curtain system of claim 1 wherein said fire curtain is one elongated sheet of material which is folded and sewn together. 4. The portable fire curtain system of claim 3 wherein the fire curtain is sewn together with a fire resistant thread. 5. The portable fire curtain system of claim 3 wherein the fire curtain is made of Basofil and Kevlar weave. 6. The portable fire curtain system of claim 1 wherein said plurality of spaced stiffeners are substantially parallel to the upper and lower edges of said fire curtain. 7. The portable fire curtain system of claim 1 wherein said bag connector is rope, and: (a) said upper bag connector deployment bag is an upper rope deployment bag, said upper rope deployment bag having a central divider which separates the upper rope deployment bag into two pockets, said central divider having a top edge near the mouth of said upper rope deployment bag, and a bottom edge joined to the bottom of said upper rope deployment bag; (b) the rope is secured in the upper rope deployment bag such that substantially half its length resides in the first pocket and the other half its length resides in the second pocket, whereby tangling of the two half sections of rope is minimized; (c) said lower bag connector deployment bag is a lower rope deployment bag, said lower rope deployment bag having a central divider which separates the lower rope deployment bag into two pockets, said central divider having a top edge near the mouth of said lower rope deployment bag, and a bottom edge joined to the bottom of said lower rope deployment bag; (d) the lower rope deployment bag has a hole in the bottom thereof and a portion of said rope near its middle protrudes out of said hole, said portion of said protruding rope having a snap attached thereto for attaching a weight thereto, and said rope is secured in the lower rope deployment bag such that substantially half its length resides in the first pocket and the other half its length resides in the second pocket, whereby tangling of the two half sections of rope is minimized. 8. The portable fire curtain system of claim 7, wherein: (a) the central divider in the upper rope deployment bag has two holes therethrough near its bottom edge, and the rope passes through the two holes and is knotted around the portion of the central divider between the two holes; (b) the lower rope deployment bag has two holes in the bottom thereof, one hole being in the first pocket and the other hole being in the second pocket; (c) the central divider in the lower rope deployment bag has a top edge near the mouth of said lower rope deployment bag, and a bottom edge joined to the bottom of said lower rope deployment bag, said central divider having two holes therethrough near its bottom edge, said rope being knotted around the portion of the central divider between the two holes in said divider, and being knotted at the point where said rope protrudes through the two holes in the bottom of the lower rope de
