SECTION CFRAMEWORKSARTICULATION ANDCHARACTERGeneral massing and height are onlythe first step in determining the bestform and scale for urban buildings. Theaxonometric diagram indicates ways inwhich the general massing should bearticulated.The image illustrates a site at theintersection of a Type A and Type Cstreet. The setbacks are different andthey are resolved in the massing atthe corner. In this case, the corner hasa tower element that is taller than thesetback formula calls for. It is balancedwith a cut in the massing. Together thesechanges create a diverse and well-scaledbuilding.MASSING ELEMENTSThe massing is further articulated withchanges of plane and color which createthe image of an urban collection ofbuildings along a street. The length ofeach element should be no less than 20feet and no more than 60 feet and notwo adjacent elements should be thesame length.MassingArticulationFACADE ARTICULATIONAND COMPOSITIONThe bay lines are indicated as the basisfor establishing a scale and rhythm forarchitectural elements such as windows,balconies, and doors. There should be aclear base, middle, and top. These patternsshould reinforce the massing elementsto create a diverse facade.Facade Composition38
