Few parts of a building work harder than its envelope (also known as its facade). The envelope is the part of the building most visible from the outside - so it should be visually appealing - but it can also have the biggest effect on the well-being and safety of its occupants - so the envelope should be help heat and cool the building, allow light into it, and provide necessary structure. Too often, a building's envelope is more aesthetically striking than functional, or vice versa. A great building envelope, though, architecturally integrates all of its elements.
