This really is a question for the architect. Normally, you choose the wall components based on the assembly's tested UL rating rather than design a wall section and then thumb through the UL catalog hoping to find something which matches.

While you are at it, ask the architect how this tall relatively rigid wall is going to work with a building which is likely to be extremely flexible (3" of sway or more horizontally and 4" or more of vertical deflection).
