façade of the panthéon in paris illuminated at night on 27 may 2015 for the admittance of germaine tillion geneviève de gaulle anthonioz pierre brossolette and jean zay to the mausoleum a façade or facade f ə ˈ s ɑː d ⓘ 1 is the front part or exterior of a building it is a loanword from the french façade pronounced fasad which means frontage or face in architecture the façade of a building is often the most important aspect from a design standpoint as it sets the tone for the rest of the building from the engineering perspective the façade is also of great importance due to its impact on energy efficiency 2 for historical façades many local zoning regulations or other laws greatly restrict or even forbid their alteration outside of architecture façade is used to describe a deceptive outward appearance 3 etymology edit the word is a loanword from the french façade which in turn comes from the italian facciata from faccia meaning face ultimately from post classical latin facia the earliest usage recorded by the oxford english dictionary is 1656 4 façades added to earlier buildings edit it was quite common in the georgian period for existing houses in english towns to be given a fashionable new façade for example in the city of bath the bunch of grapes in westgate street appears to be a georgian building but the appearance is only skin deep and some of the interior rooms still have jacobean plasterwork ceilings 5 this new construction has happened also in other places in santiago de compostela the three metre deep casa do cabido was built to match the architectural order of the square and the main churrigueresque façade of the santiago de compostela cathedral facing the plaza del obradoiro is actually encasing and concealing the older portico of glory high rise façades edit in modern high rise buildings the exterior walls are often suspended from the concrete floor slabs examples include curtain walls and precast concrete walls the façade can at times be required to have a fire resistance rating for instance if two buildings are very close together to lower the likelihood of fire spreading from one building to another in general the façade systems that are suspended or attached to the precast concrete slabs will be made from aluminum powder coated or anodized or stainless steel in recent years more lavish materials such as titanium have sometimes been used but due to their cost and susceptibility to panel edge staining these have not been popular whether rated or not fire protection is always a design consideration the melting point of aluminum 660 c 1 220 f is typically reached within minutes of the start of a fire fire stops for such building joints can be qualified too putting fire sprinkler systems on each floor has a profoundly positive effect on the fire safety of buildings with curtain walls the extended use of new materials like polymers resulted in an increase of high rise building façade fires over the past few years since they are more flammable than traditional materials some building codes also limit the percentage of window area in exterior walls when the exterior wall is not rated the perimeter slab edge becomes a junction where rated slabs are abutting an unrated wall for rated walls one may also choose rated windows and fire doors to maintain that wall s rating film sets and theme parks edit on a film set and within most themed attractions many of the buildings are only façade which are far cheaper than actual buildings and not subject to building codes within film sets in film sets they are simply held up with supports from behind and sometimes have boxes for actors to step in and out of from the front if necessary for a scene within theme parks they are usually decoration for the interior ride or attraction which is based on a simple building design examples edit façade of a 1st century ce roman domus in pompeii italy part of the central university library of bucharest romania
