1. A support structure assembly including a first wall panel operatively associated with an opposing, spaced apart second wall panel, the first wall panel including a channel having two spaced apart channel walls connected via a transverse channel base,
wherein a resilient body is produced from a metal or a fibre reinforced polymer and is encapsulated within the channel with the channel having an open entry opposing the transverse channel base with an inside surface of the channel walls and channel base defining a channel enclosure;
wherein the channel includes a brace coupling formation outwardly extending from an outer surface of the channel;
wherein the channel operatively includes a locking member movable between (i) a locked position wherein the locking member engages the channel walls, and (ii) a release position in which the locking member is adapted to be removed from the channel; and
wherein the locking member is attached to an actuator adapted to move the locking member between the locked position and the release position, the actuator adapted to support a façade panel.
