Façade Articulation
Façade Articulation in architectural design can use changes in depth, color, or material to help control how sunlight enters a building and how heat moves through the walls. Designers can use small projections, grooves, or changes in surface to create shade or direct light, which can help lower energy use inside the building. These details can help keep rooms cooler in warm climates or warmer in cold places by blocking or letting in sunlight at different times of the day or year. Façade articulation can work together with smart building systems to adjust shading or light reflection, helping buildings use less energy and making indoor spaces more comfortable.
