All You Need To Know About Evolution of A Building Façade.

The word ‘Facade’ is generally not restricted to the conventional idea of the frontage of a building but is one of the exterior side/walls of the same.

In the world of architecture, the facade of a building is considered as one of the essential aspects of the design. Whereas, from an engineer’s perspective, the facade of a building is highly necessary due to its impact on various parameters, such as:

1. Shielding from harsh weather, pollution, acid rains and smog
2. Saving energy by maintaining an optimal day-night temperature
3. Keeping the building warm and cool
4. Acting as a protective shield from heat and rain

The history of building facades dates back to 807 B.C in Japan, where wooden logs were first used as the facade material. Clay, lime, and stone soon paved their way! Glass made inroad by 1800 Century in Europe. Pyramids of Egypt, Roman Buildings, Red fort in Delhi, Taj Mahal at Agra and Hawa Mahal at Jaipur, Parliament Building and India Gate at Delhi, Gateway of India at Mumbai, Lotus temple in Delhi are some of the classic examples of great facade designs.

With Inception of Modern technology in construction, many modern materials got developed as a favoured facade material, such as Natural Stone, Ceramic material, Aluminium/Metal composite materials, etc. The challenge of using experimental materials using slim technology was already at a peak when the world welcomed digital printing technology.  This was followed by the creation of abstract and astounding 3D facades, which has become a great choice and milestone among the designers and architects shaping the Contemporary World!

At Aludecor, we have been significantly studying the colour, shape, design, pattern, texture and its myriad influences on lifestyle in India. Besides experimenting with the regular geometric or organic shapes for facades, Aludecor has innovatively ventured the three-dimensional space. Studying the fascinating stories that has emerged out of the creative landscape of India, Aludecor has crafted some astounding 3D facade designs, which are a perfect blend of traditionalism and contemporaries.

Architecture science has been derived from the geometric principles in which the design lines are usually organized in a mental process. In this regard, the application of geometric, organic and abstract pattern plays a significant role in constructing a building that impacts the appearance and form of a building facade. Keeping this in mind, each and every 3D design crafted by Aludecor has its own visual voice that creates a new story altogether. Stay tuned to learn about Aludecor’s 3D designs in details….
