Take an architectural journey through 60 cities in 40 countries with this stunning collection of facade photos.
1,000 Facades offers a visual exploration of the architecture that defines diverse cities worldwide. Architecture is the product of a collaboration between technology and art, with the engineering of a structure serving as its foundation and the design of its appearance as its artistic expression.
The facade is often the most significant and immediate aspect of a building, providing an instant impression and reflecting its overall aesthetic. More than just a visual element, facades communicate the relationship between interior and exterior, representing a crucial aspect of architectural history.
Facades reveal the mood of a building, its contextual surroundings, and even the spirit of the era. Historically, facades in grand structures were symbols of authority, but in modern times, the emphasis has shifted toward function and efficiency, with the evolution of materials and technologies enabling architects to fully express their vision.
This book features over 1,600 photographs taken by facade engineer Tae-woong Kwon over the course of a decade, showcasing a wide range of cities and countries. The editorial approach focuses on the design itself, presenting large, full-page images or detailed close-ups that offer a fresh perspective on familiar buildings.
Your journey begins in Frankfurt, Germany, known for its green architecture, and continues across Europe and the Middle East, then through Asia, and finally ending in Korea. Each facade reflects the local culture, landscape, climate, and traditions.
The appendix at the back of the book adds depth, revealing the stories behind the buildings. It provides panoramic views, historical context, building materials, technologies, and architectural terminology, expanding your understanding of architecture, history, and culture.
With photographs spanning Europe and Asia, past and present, natural and human-made, 1,000 Facades is a captivating journey across geography and time.
