multi-purpose buildings with multi-layered facade solutions

As a building’s mask, its facade plays a crucial role in defining its use and character, and in turn the characters of its visitors – the employees, residents, students, shoppers and audiences – who define a little part of themselves with the buildings they frequent. Unable to change their masks as easily as humans, however, a building’s facade is a more constant, honest reflection of itself. These large buildings use facades with multiple layers not to hide themselves away underneath a mask, but instead as opportunities to reveal the hidden depths of their history and character.
