How to attach load bearing partition to exterior curtain walling/ steel frame?

Hi guys,I just have one more question regarding something I am unsure about. I am doing a piece of coursework and I am designing a building which has three storeys, with the first utilising glass curtain walling on three elevations and brick on the rear elevation.My building has two separate entrances, one at the front and one at the side but in separating those spaces, I have a load bearing partition which attaches to the curtain walling on one elevation of the building.I have an idea but I am not 100% sure how that brick load bearing internal partition would connect properly to the steel frame/curtain walling system.Any help please, it would be much appreciated.

Answer:

u would not fix 2 the curtain wall.u would have a steel or brick footing/bearer/post supporting rsj/steel beam...if i understand your q correctly
