Typically, when there is a
noticeable seam between two buildings, it means that the buildings were
constructed at different times. Some transitions between those buildings can be
relatively smooth and not very noticeable, while other times the buildings
contrast greatly and one of them may seem out of place.
One common way to connect two
buildings is to use a party wall (one wall that is shared between two adjacent
structures). One may notice that turning the corner on the upper levels of an
adjacent building has not been thought about. The timeline of the surrounding
construction plays a big role in answering how the building turns a corner
(maybe originally the corners were not exposed).
Although some connections look
funky and out of place, they can bring a certain texture to the landscape that
enriches the surrounding culture.
