The article discusses the problem of the lack of regulatory requirements and methodological recommendations for choosing the type of hinged facade systems, depending on the cladding materials and architectural features of buildings and structures. In the course of the study, modern cladding materials for hinged facade systems were considered and their classification was compiled. The main criteria for choosing a facade system are determined, taking into account various factors such as architectural features and installation technology. The author substantiates the need to develop a methodology for choosing a facade system depending on the architecture of the building and the type of cladding material.
