Hello, I am working in a Museum project. The human activity is standing (walking in the museum). So, the direct line of sight to the outdoor environment via vision glazing could be 60´´, instead of 42´´? Thanks

Yes, if the occupants of the space are typically standing, then a view line at standing height can be used. The 42" requirement has been relaxed over the past year or so.
