Architecture On All 4 Sides
June 3, 2009
360 Architecture is an architectural practice focused on planning, design and execution. Buildings utilizing 360 architecture have creative design elements on all sides of the building. Typically in the 1980s and 1990s many buildings only had architecturally enhanced areas that faced the street or was in public view. Being at the turn of the century, ideas of this began to change.
Today many cities as well as developers ensure that all buildings have architectural significant benefit on all sides of structures. The days of matchbox construction is over and design integrity is in. However, due to the current state of the market, many cities and developers have cut back enhancements. Americana Development feels the deleting of these details cuts down sense of place and identity.
