Architects today face tremendous pressure. Not only do they have to create functional spaces that merge fantastic architectural design, these concepts have to be applied to both the interior of the structure as well as the exterior (or facade). This is the reason why we’ve seen so many extreme exteriors—exteriors that are, in addition to being architecturally amazing, also artistically beautiful. Massive media facades, cobweb architecture, and lace-patterned concrete are just some of the extreme exteriors you’ll find in this cluster.
