maybe blinds like http://cf.maisondepax.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Roman-Shades-up-close.jpg ? I've seen some guides on making these out of old beat up mini blinds which greatly simplifies the design, and also represents a "hack".

Here is a quick sketch of an idea I had. We have a bunch of extra 1" conduit, so use eye-hooks to hang the pipe and slip a curtain over it (like at the old space). I then thought a string attached to each panel in a big loop could make it easy to open and close all the blinds at once. Just an idea if anybody wants to run with it.

Show of hands, please... When we start talking about curtains on the south windows are we looking for something heavy/dark that will block the light, or something light-colored and lightweight which would allow light into the space and just block folks from seeing our awesome stuff?

My primary drive for putting up curtains is to cut down on our cooling bill in the summer. I think if we can make them easy to open and close, they can be fairly opaque, so we can choose to make it very dark inside if needed for a presentation or let in as much light as we want.
A DIY solution would cost less, but even paying for them may cost us less in cooling over time. That's if our landlord would allow for them.
They would likely make the building look more appealing and could double as signage.
Awnings would be great, but lets start with curtains. According to energy.gov, white curtains will reduce heat through windows by 33%
