3.0 BUILDING MATERIALS AND DESIGN <br />3.10 Long, large buildings can be uninteresting if they contain large or long sections of surface <br />area with no detailing, recesses or projections in building walls to help subdivide the massing <br />of large buildings. This shall be avoided .Buildings shall include at least one change in both <br />wall planes and roof lines, such as recessions and projections that provide depth. <br />3.11 Columns, pilasters, or vertical changes in the wall plane or texture shall be considered. <br />3.12 There shall be significant window coverage on each front that faces a street, commercial <br />building or residential building. Windows shall be vertically proportioned, this allows the win- <br />dow opening to appear to be structurally supported. <br />Don't Do This: <br />This large building has a long wall with no detail or <br />windows. <br />Do This: <br />These buildings have broken up the large building walls <br />with projections, details, and windows. There is signifi- <br />cant window coverage on each side of the building. <br />These buildings also use variations in materials and <br />projections to create interest to the design. <br />
