of facade art glass, will be analyzed. Their impact on the strength of the messagewill be analyzed. The collected material includes realizations of various themes and pictures. Among 30 projects, representative glass projects were distinguished, in which the authors use metaphor as one of the forms of expression. The metaphor was used in the text, figurative material, abstraction. Intermediate forms existing between the above-mentioned
groups were noticed, i.e. a figurative image made of lettering elements, an abstract image created in figurative elements. The analysis was made in five sections. Due to the global nature of plastic phenomena, there is no limited area of research.
Design/methodology/approach: The study included 40 buildings in which façade graphics were used with the aim of conveying a social message. These were examined, and then useful aspects were selected for further analysis, divided into the following categories: demonstration of the city’s proenvironmental policy, demonstration of the city’s proinnovation policy, historical references, emphasising the importance of local tradition and heritage, emphasising the multicultural nature of the building. The article presents two examples for each of these issues.
Findings: Thematic groups of façade graphics have been established, which may be used for social integration and regional marketing.
Research limitations/implications: This is a preliminary study that can subsequently be broadened to include other aspects, such as seeking means of expression or image composition, which are linked to the effectiveness of the message being created.
Practical implications: The article shows the opportunities offered by façade graphics in creating social messages; it could provide some direction for decision-makers, investors, architects, and artists. The expected result is a more frequent use of messages in façade graphics.
Social implications: The article discusses the issues of the social role of façade graphics and art in architecture. It examines the effect of a message contained in an image on the questions of social identification and building connections.
Originality/value: The research points to a considerable reach of the impact that façade graphics can have, and the possibility of using them in regional marketing; it presents their form, scope, and means.
Design/methodology/approach: The examination included 15 buildings in which various multimedia technologies were used with the intention to create a message. Among the solutions applied in these objects are those in which the message is composed directly, by a metaphor, or indirectly in combination with the architectural features. The research material was analysed, and groups of useful subjects were selected for further investigation:
- Promotion of a town
- Accentuating the location
- Accentuating the importance of events
- Popularisation of art
- Façade as a display and information channel
Findings: (mandatory): groups of subjects were selected, which might be used in creating social integration and regional marketing.
Research limitations/implications: The below research is of preliminary character. In next steps, other aspects could be added, e.g. multimedia technologies, or seeking means of expression, methods of building images.
Practical implications: The article presents the possibilities that multimedia systems offer in the area of message creation. It could potentially give direction to decision-makers with regard to their marketing activities, or the efforts to accentuate certain public functions of a town or region. The results of this research may interest investors, architects, and artists. The anticipated effect is that both awareness and the frequency of using multimedia systems will grow.
Social implications: The article discusses the questions of the social role of art and façade graphics in architecture. It examines the effects of a message contained in an image on the issues of social identity and developing bonds.
Originality/value: The study proves that façade graphics have a substantial impact, and it shows the possibilities of using such graphics in regional marketing; it also mentions their form, scope, and means.
