Articulating the Buildings

Buildings provide context. You can add pre-made or custom window and door components to the buildings. Then you can further adjust and manipulate the volume of the building mass (Fig. 19-25 through Fig. 19-27). There are three types of buildings that should be included in a site plan:

3 Any proposed building or structure that has been designed and modeled.

3 E xisting buildings adjacent to the site plan or proposed architecture. Google Earth and 3D Warehouse contain many pre-made existing buildings that can be downloaded and included in a site model.

3 A ny neighboring buildings that are not adjacent to the site plan or proposed structure. These can be included as volumes instead of articulated massings.
