  • Abstract:

    One of the important factors in the design of buildings is the visual expression of the structure as manifested in the design of façade components. This article classifies the various façade components into three groups: ‘complete’ flat components; ‘partial’ flat components; and spatial (three-dimensional) components. A method is proposed for examining the geometry (sizes and shapes) of the various components that relies on both architectural and cost considerations.
