Well in my opinion a facade design is a design of the face of an existing building or perhaps redesigning the face of a building that has already neared design completion.
Architecture would be the design of a building in its entirety including form, structure, materiality, facades etc.

No difference. Architecture has anything to do with a buildings design and construction. Here is what dictionary.com says
the profession of designing buildings, open areas, communities, and other artificial constructions and environments, usually with some regard to aesthetic effect. Architecture often includes design or selection of furnishings and decorations, supervision of construction work, and the examination, restoration, or remodeling of existing buildings. |

WIKIPEDIA
Building facades make a major contribution to the overall aesthetic and technical performance of a building. Facade engineers work in consultancy for architects, building owners, cladding manufacturers and construction managers. Projects can include new buildings and recladding of existing buildings.
Facade engineers work in conjunction with other members of the design team including fire, acoustic and lighting engineers. Their goal is to balance the overall objectives of appearance, quality, performance, cost, durability and schedule.
Facade engineering requires a blend of skills ranging from structural engineering through to building physics, architecture, manufacturing, materials science, dynamics, programming, procurement, project management and construction techniques. |
