Secondary Facade
The building shell represents a perfect combination of architectural aesthetics and engineering durability. By covering the exterior surface of a structure, it imparts character and harmonizes the building with its surroundings. Not only does it create a visually impressive impression, but it also protects the building from environmental impacts.
This architectural element plays a critical role in defining the style and identity of a building. A smooth and simple façade emphasizes simplicity and elegance in a modern and minimalist design. Conversely, in a traditional structure, a detailed and ornate façade highlights architectural richness and historical significance.
The use of the building shell is significant not only for its aesthetic value but also for its functionality. It serves crucial purposes such as protection against natural disasters, providing insulation, and enhancing the structure’s durability. For instance, a façade equipped with special coatings that reflect sunlight can protect the building’s interior from the harmful effects of the sun and contribute to energy savings.
Façades also offer a wide range of material options, including concrete, metal, glass, stone, wood, and composite materials, providing architects and designers with flexibility in different styles and functions.
In conclusion, a building’s shell is not merely a decorative element on its exterior surface but also a functional architectural component. When carefully selected and applied in architectural projects, it becomes a key element that defines the building’s character and aligns it with its environment.

SECONDARY FAÇADE SUN-SHADİNG FEATURES
The sun-shading features of secondary façades enhance energy efficiency in buildings, reducing environmental impact while simultaneously improving user comfort and aesthetics. With the right design and material selection, sun-shading systems have become an indispensable component of modern architecture. The use of these systems significantly contributes to the creation of sustainable and livable buildings.
- Energy Savings: 20-30%
- Indoor Comfort: 15-25%5
- Reduction in Artificial Lighting Needs: 10-20%
- Building Lifespan and Maintenance Costs: 5-15%
These percentages represent general averages and can vary depending on the building type, location, climate conditions, and the type of secondary façade system used. Proper design and application of the secondary façade can maximize these advantages.
SECONDARY FAÇADE SOUND ABSORPTİON FEATURES
Secondary façades play a crucial role in enhancing the acoustic performance of buildings by effectively reducing external noise. These façades control the diffraction and reflection of sound waves, resulting in quieter and more comfortable indoor environments. The materials used, as well as the structural and surface design of secondary façades, are key factors in sound absorption and insulation. With the correct design and material selection, secondary façades can significantly improve the acoustic comfort of buildings.
- Reduction in External Noise: 5-50%
- Sound Insulation Performance: 5-45%
- Echo Reduction: 10-40%
- Sound Absorption: 10-60%
These percentages represent general averages and can vary depending on the building type, location, materials used, and the design of the secondary façade. Proper design and material selection of secondary façades are essential to maximizing sound insulation performance.
SECONDARY FAÇADE FRESH AİR AND EXHAUST VENTİLATİON
Secondary façades are utilized to improve air quality and enhance energy efficiency in buildings. These systems facilitate the intake of fresh air while optimizing the exhaust of polluted air.
- Fresh Air Intake: 30-50%
- Polluted Air Exhaust: 25-40%
- Air Curtain Effect: 5-50%
These percentages represent general averages and can vary depending on the building type, location, materials used, and the design of the secondary façade. Proper design and material selection of secondary façades are crucial for maximizing air quality and energy efficiency.
