Focusing on the textures, patterns, compositions and details of architectural facades, this volume demonstrates how the exterior appearance of a building has evolved from an aesthetic consideration into one that has functional and technological aspects. Heavily illustrated throughout, it takes in examples including New York’s Dream Downtown Hotel with its porthole windows; the Prada shop in Tokyo, clad in rhomboid-shaped glass panels that generate constantly changing reflections; and the Tour Lumière, a cylindrical tower of flats with wraparound terraces.
