I am interested in what are called window-connecting transverse elements in my new build (I can’t find another term for it).

Here as examples, one made of wood and in the second image with slate panels.
Can someone explain the building technology of how this is implemented in a construction method without external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) / external wall insulation, and how the depth differences are adjusted? Can the elements be attached directly to the exterior wall and the rest simply plastered, or how should this be understood?
Thanks in advance for the answers!

Behind that is simply masonry and ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite System)That’s exactly the question here. What does it look like when building with monolithic construction? Is the plaster system sufficient to install either counter battens plus rhombus boards or facing brick slips?
How many centimeters of plaster layers are normally applied?

How many centimeters of plaster thickness are usually applied? On average, about two and a half centimeters of plaster are applied, which is just enough for the battens. Brick slips can be reasonably well installed flush, at least the joints, otherwise it would probably look odd.

That’s the question of whether on façades designed like those common with ETICS (external thermal insulation composite systems), one would then switch to ETICS after all. Your house design is rather unusual for the monolithic construction group.

Your house design is rather atypical for the monolithic construction group.That's why I'm asking here. So far, I have held back with my architect and given him complete freedom. Once there is a draft, I think we can focus on the details. It might even be necessary, since it’s already clear that, for example, the ceiling of the covered terrace will need insulation.
I am a fan of avoiding insulation if the required values can be met using aerated concrete blocks.

That doesn’t really sound like an effort to avoid unnecessary insulation hacks at first glance.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

To summarize my findings, it is generally more challenging to implement detailed design features with a monolithic construction method, such as aerated concrete or clay blocks.
Perhaps another point: Are there any issues with monolithic construction when combined with large window areas?
