Modern building facade ideas that are changing the feel of Present-Day Architecture
The one thing that gives the passers-by a reason to stop and stare, is the facade. An innovative facade represents the creative vision of the architect. Something unique not only draws the attention of the people but also stands out in the crowd! SO, if you are looking to create a fantastic impression – here are some wonderful facade ideas that are changing the feel of modern architecture!
Metal Facade Panels and Cladding
Metal facade panels are generally made of aluminum, zinc or steel. More than often, color coated aluminum or steel facades are used. These give a trendy and stylish look to the building. However, high quality, natural colored copper and zinc are also used to give the entire building an elegant look. The best part? They are corrosion-resistant! Moreover, these are modern materials used in architectural structures. Facade claddings are developed to be used on the facades of the buildings. These give an elegant, smooth, and modern look to the building.
Moving facades
These are spectacular facades that bring buildings to life! These can be transformed according to one’s own desire. Whilst there are certain designs that limit themselves to wholly aesthetic and decorative elements, there are several which interact with the layout or structure of the building.
Kinetic Facade
Technically these come under moving facades. They are facades that change dynamically rather than being still or fixed. This helps manage light, energy, air, and even information. Often they act to allow the passage of fresh air in the building. The best part is, they can be programmed to respond to various climatic and environmental factors, time, and thus, not only improve performance but also efficiency.
In Abu Dhabi, there is The Al Bahr Towers which has a computer-controlled facade. It is made of panels that resemble the umbrella. These panels move about throughout the day in accordance with the movement of the sun! They give optimal shading and allow only the amount of light to enter as required.
Furthermore, there are various awesome and stunningly detailed facades used in various buildings which give them a different touch altogether. The Aqua Tower in Chicago is one such structure. Designed by Studio Gang Architects, it has been the recipient of a number of awards.
Similarly, the Red Building in West Hollywood which was designed by the Pacific Design Center is another stunning example of how modern building facades change the entire feel of the architecture.
Lastly, the Mirrored multifaceted, Basque Health Department Headquarters from Spain, is a remarkable example of the same. Designed by Coll Barreu Arquitectos, it is a double folded facade that changes appearances by mirroring many different views of the city. These radiate innovation and beauty at first glance!
