The Frescoed Facade in Renaissance Roman Visual Culture
This book examines Roman façades decorated with fresco and sgraffito between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries that once enveloped the central rioni of Rome within a web of symbolic social, political, and familial allegiances that transformed a street-side stroll into a visually engaging experience.Today, many of these faces are lost, and our understanding of what they comprised is frighteningly incomplete.This book offers a refreshed look at this often-forgotten facet of Renaissance visual culture to reignite interest in the tradition before its last remnants disappear.In addition to offering a new compilation of these documented façades, this book also places new emphasis on the making and meaning of these “painted faces” to provide new insights into the place of the decorated façade at the intersections of patron identity and painterly innovation in a city working tirelessly to reinvent itself.

The Architecture of the Facade
The Architecture of the Facade provides a comprehensive study of the facade as both a physical and cultural artifact, highlighting its significance as a critical component of the civic realm and arguing for the restoration of the art of the facade as both a subject of study within academia and an aspiration within the profession at large. As the principal surface of mediation, contextualization, and representation, the facade carries the lion’s share of responsibility for containing the internal environment and confronting the outer world. And yet, in recent decades, the very question of what exactly a facade is has been raised by the dramatic changes in building technology, advances of parametric design, and the ubiquity of autonomous buildings.The Architecture of the Facade addresses these and other related issues.The book is organized into 12 chapters, with each chapter focusing on a particular aspect of the phenomenon of the facade such as those of wall, the frame, transparency, and the role of the facade in civic space.Korman also discusses proportional systems, the language of composition, the role of precedent, the importance of context, and much more.Over 350 photos and diagrams provide readers with a variety of examples of artful facades throughout history.Online teaching resources that accompany this book include a course syllabus, a glossary, and a Pinterest tack board of facades. This book will be of great interest to students in architecture studios as well as instructors and professional architects interested in facade design.

Is a pine facade recommended or a larch facade?
The choice between a pine facade and a larch facade depends on several factors such as the desired aesthetic, durability, and maintenance requirements. Pine is a more affordable option and can provide a warm, natural look, but it may require more maintenance and is less durable than larch. Larch, on the other hand, is more durable and resistant to decay, making it a better choice for outdoor facades, but it may come at a higher cost. Ultimately, the decision should be based on the specific needs and preferences of the project, as well as the budget available.
-
What do you prefer, a brick facade or a plastered facade?
I prefer a brick facade because it offers a timeless and classic look that adds character and warmth to a building. The natural texture and color variations of brick can create a visually interesting and inviting exterior. Additionally, brick is durable and low-maintenance, making it a practical choice for long-term building aesthetics.
-
How are window sills installed in a cladding facade or brick facade?
Window sills in a cladding facade are typically installed by first measuring and cutting the sill to the appropriate size. Then, the sill is attached to the window frame using screws or adhesive, ensuring it is level and secure. In a brick facade, the process is similar, but may require additional steps such as drilling into the brick to secure the sill. Once the sill is in place, it is often sealed with caulk to prevent water infiltration and ensure a tight fit.
-
Can facade paint go bad?
Yes, facade paint can go bad over time. Exposure to sunlight, moisture, and temperature fluctuations can cause the paint to deteriorate, leading to fading, chipping, and peeling. Additionally, if the paint is not stored properly, it can also expire and become unusable. It's important to regularly inspect the condition of facade paint and consider repainting when signs of deterioration are present.

What is a facade relief?
A facade relief is a type of architectural ornamentation that involves sculptural elements projecting from a building's exterior wall. These reliefs are typically decorative and can depict a variety of subjects, such as figures, animals, or geometric patterns. Facade reliefs are often used to add visual interest and texture to a building's facade, creating a sense of depth and dimension. This technique has been used in architecture for centuries, from ancient civilizations to modern-day buildings.

What is an asbestos facade?
An asbestos facade refers to a building exterior that is constructed using asbestos-containing materials. These materials were commonly used in construction due to their durability and fire-resistant properties. However, asbestos is now known to be a health hazard when its fibers are released into the air and inhaled, leading to serious respiratory illnesses such as lung cancer and mesothelioma. As a result, the use of asbestos in construction has been banned in many countries, and buildings with asbestos facades may require remediation or removal to protect public health.

What is EPS facade insulation?
EPS facade insulation is a type of insulation material used to improve the energy efficiency and thermal performance of buildings. It is made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, which is lightweight, durable, and has excellent insulating properties. EPS facade insulation is typically installed on the exterior walls of buildings to reduce heat loss, minimize thermal bridging, and enhance the overall comfort and energy efficiency of the structure. It can also help to regulate indoor temperatures, reduce energy consumption, and lower heating and cooling costs.
-
What is a ventilated facade?
A ventilated facade is a type of building facade system that consists of an outer cladding layer, an air cavity, and an inner insulation layer. The outer cladding is typically made of materials such as ceramic, metal, or composite panels, and it is mounted on a substructure that creates a gap between the cladding and the insulation layer. This air cavity allows for natural ventilation and drainage, which helps to regulate temperature, reduce moisture buildup, and improve energy efficiency in the building. Ventilated facades are commonly used in modern architecture for their aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.
