# Facade Computation

## 1. Computational Facade Design Philosophy

The building facade is not a wrapper. It is the single most consequential architectural element — the mediator between interior environment and exterior climate, the primary determinant of energy consumption, the structural skin that must resist wind, seismic, and thermal loads, and the public expression of a building's identity. Computational facade design treats every square meter of this surface as a field of optimizable variables rather than a repeating module selected from a catalog.

### Facade as Environmental Mediator

Every facade simultaneously manages five environmental flows:

| Flow | Inward | Outward |
|------|--------|---------|
| **Solar radiation** | Daylight, solar heat gain | Glare, overheating |
| **Thermal energy** | Heat loss in winter | Heat gain in summer |
