Although screen fa\u00e7ades are nothing new, when incorporated into contemporary architecture, they can offer radical responses to modern design philosophies. In many ways, ornamental screens defy the categorizations and false dichotomies that guide modern architectural practice. Although these screens are decorative, they are also functional, often providing privacy, ventilation and natural light. These screens obscure distinctions between inside and out, while their decorative patterns oscillate between organic and geometric design.<\/p>\n<p>Screen fa\u00e7ades also serve a symbolic function, by imitating traditional designs and in some cases by reinvigorating preexisting structures. In each of these projects, the ornamental fa\u00e7ades create a stark contrast to the austere minimalism of their architectural surroundings. The screens introduce a historicizing element to otherwise abstracted forms, providing structures with a strong visual identity and a necessary balance of past and present. Some screens integrate new buildings with a traditional environment, while others adapt old buildings to contemporary programs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1405678421131IMG_3599.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1405678421131IMG_3599.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1405678421131IMG_3599.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1405678421131IMG_3599.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1405678421131IMG_3599.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1405678421131IMG_3599.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 MAHASTUDIO\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 MAHASTUDIO<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1405678453891IMG_3606.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1405678453891IMG_3606.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1405678453891IMG_3606.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1405678453891IMG_3606.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1405678453891IMG_3606.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1405678453891IMG_3606.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 MAHASTUDIO\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 MAHASTUDIO<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/masjid-permata-qolbu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Masjid Permata Qolbu<\/b><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/mass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MAHASTUDIO<\/a>, Jakarta, Indonesia<\/p>\n<p>The Masjid Permata Qolbu distills traditional mosque design into geometric forms, abstracted by their unconventional proportions and uniformly white color.
