Architects use shadow to create a sense of continuity in a building's facade by designing the placement of windows, balconies, and other architectural features so that they create a consistent pattern of light and shadow. This pattern can help to unify the overall appearance of the building and make it more visually appealing.
For example, if an architect wants to create a sense of continuity in a building's facade, they might design a series of windows that are placed in a regular pattern. As the sun moves throughout the day, the shadows created by these windows will create a consistent and recognizable pattern on the building's exterior.
Similarly, architects might incorporate balconies or other decorative elements into the facade in order to create areas of shade that will complement the patterns of light and shadow created by the windows. By carefully designing the placement and size of these elements, architects can create a sense of continuity that ties the entire facade together.
