Façades determine visual identity, character and expression of architecture. The design and enchanting exteriors of a building impart a character to it and is a huge parameter for building performance. Building façades lie at the convergence of the outward and inward environment, forming an integral part of the building. They are the most difficult to design since the perception of iconic and technologically advanced façades is changing frequently. Besides technology, materials like metal, glass, concrete etc., used for the building skin are an integral yet singular aspect of the façade design.The façade combines attributes of both appearance as well as superior performance in a manner unlike any other building system. I emphasise on the use of metal façades in residences due to the extremely beneficial properties of metal. Aesthetically speaking, metal offers a unique modern rhythmic aesthetic to compliment any building.
