Is it possible for building facades to evolve through personal progression, adjusting to each user’s perspective and interpretation?

The facade or the ‘skin’ of a building can dramatically enhance its presence on the street.  Whether these external gestures are simple or complex, these same facades can equally heighten and transform moments throughout a building’s interior.  The interaction of a facade and the interior environment can further enhance the user’s experience by creating relationships between one’s exterior perception and the interior spaces beyond. These relationships can vary widely, from the deceptive façade of Outside the Box, designed by CADENCE Architects, where small details designate a space only understood from an interior perspective.  While ARGE’s Rietburg Museum Expansion merges the interior/exterior interface. The treatment of their façade surrounds the user, forcing an interactive experience to not only occur between the interior and the exterior, but also between the user and the structure.  Lastly, intricate facades such as the Airspace Tokyo, designed by Proces 2, Faulders Studio and Studio M, are detailed with such complexity that the external system can read as continuous texture, while internally one appreciates the independent system modules, further intensifying the user/structure interaction.
