The document discusses building facades and how they are like clothing for buildings. It notes that facade designs have changed over time and cultures, and that avant-garde designs challenge assumptions while progressing society. Facade designers consider the local climate and materials used, just as fashion designers consider the look, feel, and production of clothing materials. Both also consider factors like weather. The document discusses how facades can be designed to mitigate issues like water intrusion, insulation, and energy losses, much like clothing is designed for weather and moisture control.
