This building panel consists of lightweight panel for external or internal closures of latticework support structures, which is constituted by slabs of air-setting resistant material. The slabs are reinforced in the facade panels for external closures and unreinforced for the dividing panels for internal closures. They are provided with a patterned surface on the visible face and are smooth or shaped at the edges. The visible face is formed by a thin layer of molded synthetic resin or fine mortar paste. When the layer is molded synthetic resin and is disposed as a shell for the panel, it comprises over the whole of the inner surface thereof an internal synthetic resin layer, the entire free surface of which is covered with a solid bulk material, the components of which firmly partially anchored in said internal layer and afford a substantial free surface for anchorage of the air-setting material forming the resistant body poured thereover. This material fills the entire volume of said panel shell, at the same time as it includes therein reinforcement means provided with points directly accessible from the outside of the concealed face of the panel.

1. A building facade panel adapted to operably engage and close a latticework support structure having uprights connected by horizontal crossmembers, said panel comprising:a slab comprised of an air-setting resistant material and having opposed faces, one face comprising a visible face defining a molded pattern; and reinforcement means having a portion embedded within the slab and extending outwardly thereof so as to form an outwardly accessible portion, the portion embedded within the slab being configured to extend through the slab, away from the visible face, and then outwardly or the other face of the slab as the outwardly accessible portion, the outwardly accessible portion defining a spine configured to oppose and operably engage a corresponding spine defined by the latticework support structure when the panel is attached thereto the spines being secured together by mechanical fixation means, the reinforcement means being adapted to reinforce the slab and to allow the slab to be attached to the latticework support structure such that the panel covers the latticework support structure. 2. A panel according to claim 1 wherein the air-setting resistant material is selected from the group consisting of cement concrete, cement mortar, resin mortar, mixed mortar, normal synthetic resin, lightened synthetic resin, and combinations thereof.3. A panel according to claim 1 wherein the reinforcement means further comprises a channel having a cross-section including an open end and a closed end, the open end being defined by opposing flanges and comprising the portion embedded in the slab.4. A panel according to claim 3 wherein the portion of the reinforcement means embedded in the slab further defines a plurality of upertures configured to allow the air-setting resistant material to pass therethrough so as to facilitate securement of the reinforcement means within the slab.5. A panel according to claim 1 wherein the reinforcement means further comprises a plurality metal sections disposed with respect to the slab so as to form a frame arrangement therefor.6. A panel according to claim 5 further comprising a plurality of corrugated rods extending between the metal sections of the frame arrangement for facilitating securement of the reinforcement means within the slab.7. A panel according to claim 1 further comprising a resilient, resistant filiform member operably engaged with the reinforcement means and configured to secure the panel to the latticework support structure.8. A panel according to claim 1 wherein the outwardly accessible portion further comprises a channel having a U-shaped cross-section with an open end, the channel extending from the spine of the outwardly accessible portion such that the open end is downwardly oriented and configured to operably engage a flange extending upwardly from the spine of the latticework support structure.9. A panel according to claim 1 wherein the outwardly accessible portion further comprises a flange extending downwardly from the spine of the outwardly accessible portion, the flange being configured to operably engage a channel having a U-shaped cross-section with an open end, the channel extending from the spine of the latticework support structure such that the open end is upwardly oriented.10. A panel according to claim 1 wherein the reinforcement means extends outwardly from the slab so as to form a side thereof.11. A building facade panel system adapted to operably engage and close a latticework support structure having uprights connected by horizontal crossmembers, said system comprising:a plurality of panels, each panel defining an edge and comprising: a slab comprised of an air-setting resistant material and having opposed faces; a surface layer operably engaged with the slab and substantially covering one face of the slab, the surface layer defining a pattern having a plurality of relief elements, the pattern including a depression disposed about the edge; and reinforcement means having a portion embedded within the slab and extending outwardly thereof so as to form an outwardly accessible portion, the outwardly accessible portion being configured to extend away from the one face and outwardly of the other face of the slab, the reinforcement means being adapted to reinforce the slab and to allow the slab to be attached to the latticework support structure such that the panel covers the latticework support structure; and an insert configured as a relief element, the insert being capable of being inserted into a receptacle defined by corresponding depressions of juxtaposed panels and thereby providing continuation of the pattern on the surface layer between panels and covering a joint between the juxtaposed panels defined by the respective edges thereof. 12. A panel according to claim 1 wherein the spine defined by the outwardly accessible portion is configured to oppose and operably engage the corresponding spine defined by the latticework support structure such that the outwardly accessible portion spine hangs from the latticework support structure spine when the panel is attached to the latticework support structure.13. A system according to claim 11 wherein the reinforcement means is configured to be attached to the latticework support structure such that the slab hangs therefrom.
