BEYOND THE STORIES

Storytelling explores the ideas, history, and principles behind facade architecture. Through articles, case studies, and reflections, we examine how design decisions, cultural influences, and sustainability shape the built environment and the stories our buildings tell.

Origins of the Ventilated Façade: From Traditional Construction to Modern Buildings

The ventilated façade is one of the most significant developments in contemporary design. Today, it is recognised as a high-performance façade system that combines thermal efficiency, moisture protection, durability, and architectural freedom. However, its principles are not the result of a single invention—they evolved gradually from centuries of architectural experimentation and the search for better ways to protect buildings from climate conditions.

What is a rear-ventilated façade

an air cavity between the finishing layer and the perimeter wall. This solution, particularly suitable for functional and public buildings, has profoundly innovated the concept of the building envelope thanks to its high performance in terms of energy efficiency, acoustic insulation, and architectural flexibility.
