“Two Faced” Concept
Adjective /tuːˈfeist/
Having two faces, surfaces, etc.
Having two faces--one looking to the future and one to the past.
"Two-faced facade: This refers to a building facade that has two distinct, contrasting sides. For example, the front of the building might have a traditional or ornate appearance, while the back of the building might be plain or functional. This can be a deliberate design choice, intended to create a specific effect or to respond to different contextual conditions."
