In Society of Spectacle, Guy Debord offers a socially critical definition, \u201cspectacle is not a collection of images; rather, it is a social relationship between people that is mediated by images.\u201d2 Written in 1967, Debord was reacting to the bombardment of mass media and its resultant culture, and this environment still thrives today. Debord\u2019s argument revolves around the social relationship between the public and how spectacle becomes mediation. This argument is easily transferrable to architecture and fa\u00e7ade. Fa\u00e7ade can be defined as the mediation between a piece of architecture and the public. Thus, as Debord was reacting to the newly formed media context, architecture has also reacted to the contemporary environment by defining fa\u00e7ade as both mediator and producer of spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>Please download full document to achieve a full comprehension of the project: <a href=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/L_Bancroft_EnvelopeResearchDocumentSmall.pdf\">L.
