[BIFE ENG ver.] The function of the facade 3/3

4) Function of the facade summary

 

So far, we've looked at the role of the facade. To summarize, the facade's functions can be divided into two main types. The first was a functional role communicating with the external environment and the second was a design role. Again, the functional role can be divided into two detailed divisions. It was blocking or introducing the external environment. Finally, design roles can also be classified as social context and architectural intentions.

 

The well-designed facade has sound balance in the role of the facade we've seen earlier. Sometimes too functional-focused, with a lack of aesthetic goals produces boring building with none of the technical achievements. And vice versa. The facade, which focuses only on design, may have no virtues, and real users can be uncomfortable. It costs a lot of money for construction, and this can also be a hindrance to the technological development of the facade. However, there is also a facade that is strong in its basic functions and gives pleasure with small aesthetic details.
