Week 11 in-session reflection

Façade design aims to ‘use the design of visible building facades to create or reinforce neighborhood identity and a richer pedestrian environment.
There are four goals to design façade. Firstly, incorporating elements on the façade of building to add visual interest. Secondly, creating similarity between buildings and streets via some elements. Thirdly, enhancing public visual by providing views. Finally, enhancing security and comfort of pedestrians by using these architectural elements.

From this lecture, I think façade has many benefits, however, it has drawbacks as well. For example, to design these different façade needs materials, some may be special and expensive, which can increase costs. Pictures blow show some facade design.
