Façade

This book presents a thought-provoking exploration of architectural concepts as showcased in a series of works at the 2014 Venice Architectural Biennale. Through a compilation of essays and visual presentations, it delves into the complexities of façades and the ways they shape and define urban environments. The authors, Alejandro Zaera-Polo and Stephan Trüby, invite readers to rethink traditional notions of design, urging a dialogue about the role of architecture in contemporary society.

The collection reflects a diverse array of international perspectives, making it a vital resource for architects, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and structural innovation.
