“…Their use becomes an expedient with which Samonà creates chiaroscuro effects (considering its small size) on a surface with plaster of assorted grain size [16,17]. The light that strikes the elements on the floors, which are differently staggered, creates a play of varied shadows capable of giving dynamism and verticality to a building with a predominantly horizontal development [18].…”

This contribution analyses the existing correlations between the formal aspects and the technological and structural elements by operating a “synthesis of the Arts”, herein intended as an absolute fusion following the cultural climate in the 1950s in Italy. In this context, the main references are two examples of architectural facades built in Messina in that period. These works were selected because of interpretations appropriately identified and assumed according to the specific peculiarities of the external configuration, namely for the characterisations deriving from using specific materials on the facade and the geometries underlying the definition of the shape. The survey activity allows to clarify the representativeness of the meanings inherent in the selected works, highlighting the articulation of the external configurations as “spaces” of emotional relationship between the architecture and the context.

Critical review of current understanding of passive façade design in residential buildings

A systematic literature review is an objective method to critically evaluate current understanding in the field of building façades. Due to the topical nature of climate change and its impact on the design and performance of facades, the review will critically evaluate selected studies on their ability to respond to current climate (climate-responsiveness) and future climate changes. The study focuses on residential façades since a lack of research was identified for residential (64 studies) compared to commercial façades (255 studies). The study employs the PRISMA model to identify 105 relevant studies. These were analysed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current body of literature on residential façades. Common focus domains were grouped into following research clusters: aesthetics, acoustics, structure, sustainability, pathology, thermal comfort, and natural ventilation, energy efficiency and building performance. Two types of research gaps were identified, gaps by climate and building height, and authors’ self-reported gaps. Reported research gaps were grouped into 3 categories: data, methodology and theory. Quantitative building performance has been thoroughly studied. However, the impact of human behaviour, elements of future change, and climate change on building performance present research gaps which require further investigation. Moreover, only 15 studies (14.3%) were conducted for a tropical climate, and only 8 (7.6%) studies investigated high-rise buildings. High-density megacities and high-rise buildings will become more common, and mainly concentrated in tropical and subtropical regions. It is, therefore, important to research how residential façades should be designed for high-rise buildings in hot climates considering future change. The critical evaluation assesses whether and how these studies address climate change and extreme weather. Additionally, socio-economic changes are important. Land scarcity, increasing real estate values, and shrinking family size could lead to smaller flat sizes. Future work may consider the delicate balance between façade ratio, flat size, energy, cost, and comfort.
