Structure, Facade and Beauty.
The exterior character of a building is often determined by how structure relates to the building envelope.

Architects frequently explore and exploit spatial relationships between these two elements in order to express their architectural ideas and generally enrich their designs. Structure plays numerous roles in contributing to the visual appearance of a building façade, through modulation, adding depth and texture, and acting as a visual screen or filter.
Some of these roles are seen at Mpingo house in Dar es salaam. In all of them the structural scale must relate appropriately to the scales of non-structure elements in order to achieve the desired outcome.
