Speaking, the first thing the visitor sees. Its design also implies a relationship with the building's surroundings. In the past, architects such as Le Corbusier and FL Wright opened the way to incorporate the functional-energetic component into the façade, using concrete panels, sunshades and large overhangs as compositional elements. Today we have a multitude of resources to give the character of the desired building: combination of different textures, building facades made of a single construction material that "imposes" solemnity and solidity, play of different volumes, ornaments, minimalism, facades of 2 or more visual "layers", use of different colors, etc. There are even so-called "smart" or 4.0 facades, which use innovative construction materials . Also of course we have to talk about the essential role that the hole represents in the façade . Windows are the resource par excellence when it comes to modulating (or giving compositional richness) the rhythm of building facades. At this time when it seems that everything has already been invented in the aesthetic-compositional sense, what type of facades are capable of "provoking" us to want to photograph them for hours? Below we present 10 of the best architectural facades that we can find in Spain. Facades of buildings up to three floors These buildings normally correspond to single-family homes and small buildings. They are free-standing and therefore, the facades have a strong component of direct dialogue with the external environment.

This uniqueness does not have to manifest itself with overly technological and complicated materials. In Spain there is still a lot of love for traditional materials such as ceramic pieces. The important thing about these facades is that they clearly want to dialogue with the visitor.

Therefore, the facades compete in a certain way with those of the surroundings, thus gaining more and more prominence in the conception of the building itself. They normally play with geometries and holes. They are facades of great compositional beauty and very “photogenic”. A metallic museum in the historic center museo ABC ABC Museum in Madrid.

Determinant and exciting, in which the development model of cities must be modified. After two decades of technological-digital boom, we are entering the era of urbanity. A time in which everyone, from states to citizens, must make certain efforts towards sustainable development and resilience in the face of the challenges of climate change and the excessive accumulation of waste. For this reason, we have decided to dedicate our first blog post in the 1920s to a way of doing architecture aimed at solving these challenges: biomimetic architecture (or how to do architecture based on nature).
