This study aims to define the types of composition patterns of contemporary Polish multi-family building facades. The authors define the compositional patterns to determine their frequency. Analyses carried out on the basis of photos and visualizations of 113 examples of architecture from Poland identified groups of common features of facades. Statistical analyses of these features resulted in six types of compositions. Clear differences were noticed in relation to features, such as the repeatability of compositional elements and the method of building a vertical compositional axis. Variations were observed in the frequency and extent of application of specific types of compositions. The results of this study can be a starting point for the development of generative algorithms supporting the process of designing facades. Specifying the types will allow for further exploration of the theme, both in terms of the use of specific compositional measures and in terms of their perception.
