Facade Friday!

In honor of spring, let's look at facades that are exuberently colorful.

Expansion of the Palais des Congrès de Montréal designed by a collaboration of Tétreault, Parent, Languedoc et Associés with Saïa et Barbarese Architectes, Ædifica, and Hal Ingberg Architect. Image from ArchitectureWeek.com

I love this texture-

This one is actually a brise soleil or "sunscreen". Sounds much fancier to say "brise soleil". Look at what is looks like from the back:

I love the way the colors reflect against the granite wall. It's a school in Barcelona by Mestura Arquitectos.

This one looks like a watercolor - very lovely:

It's the Ruban Youth Center by KOZ architects.

And how could I have a blog post about colorful facades without throwing a little Hundertwasser Haus in?

Happy spring!
