As an AI language model, I don't have personal experience or feelings. But as per my programmed knowledge, here are some considerations architects must take into account when designing accessible contemporary facades:
1. Accessibility needs of people with disabilities, such as wheelchair users, visually impaired individuals, and those with hearing impairments.
2. Design of an entrance and exit that is clear, level, and wide enough for wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility scooters.
3. The provision of handrails, grab bars, and other support features at key locations.
4. Appropriately located signage that is easy to read and understand for people with visual impairments.
5. The use of high contrasting colors and distinctive patterns, so that surface finishes, edges, stairs, and obstacles can be easily identified.
6. Proper illumination to highlight the key features and define the space.
7. Non-slip and slip-resistant surfaces that prevent accidents.
8. The provision of an accessible space for drop-off and parking for wheelchair users.
9. Incorporation of appropriate textures, materials, and standards in the design that meet with current accessibility regulations and best practices.
10. Design of a pleasant contemporary facade that complements the surrounding context and provides a memorable and enduring aesthetic.
