Facade is a noun that refers to the outward appearance or front of a building, especially one that is designed to conceal or embellish the true nature of the structure behind it. It can also be used figuratively to refer to a superficial or deceptive appearance. The word facade is derived from the Italian word “facciata”, which means “face”.
Facades are often used to make buildings more visually appealing or to create a specific impression. For example, a building with a grand facade may be designed to convey a sense of importance or power. Facades can also be used to disguise the true nature of a building, such as a building that is used for a purpose other than what it appears to be.
