IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY5

First impressions are everything and that same notion can be applied to buildings. Yes, there are interesting shapes and layers that articulate design, but what truly makes an impact is the façade itself. It’s typically the first point of contact a person will have with a structure. Significant to a building’s overall success: it is the skin of the edifice that will come under judgment before most other aspects of design.

“Listed below are 5 winning façade designs from the Architizer A+Awards. Whether it be for commercial, residential or public use, each project points to new ways architects are approaching façade design: whether by rethinking the relationship between envelope and structure in traditional typologies, experimenting with kinetic skins, or questioning how the exterior expression and interior atmosphere can be mutually reinforcing.”
