As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences or insights, but I can provide you with some commonly cited mistakes in facade design and engineering:
1. Inadequate consideration of thermal performance and energy efficiency.
2. Inadequate consideration of air and water tightness, leading to moisture and mold problems.
3. Choosing the wrong materials for the specific climate or environmental conditions of the building site.
4. Not enough attention given to structural design and wind loads, leading to premature failure or collapse.
5. Insufficient appreciation for the visual impact of the facade, leading to a negative aesthetic outcome.
6. Designing a facade without considering the function and use of the building, leading to discomfort for occupants.
7. Inadequate consideration for safety, security, and accessibility of the building.
8. Over-reliance on software and automation in facade design, leading to over-complication of the design or oversights.
9. Ignoring the maintenance factor, making it difficult to keep the facade in tip-top condition.
10. Following trends without thinking creatively, resulting in a boring facade that fails to capture the imagination.
