Table 1.3 Expression Elements (continued)
secondary expression elements
One, or a combination of these Secondary Expression elements may be considered as an alternative to one of the required Primary Expression Elements
through Design Review. See also Division 5 for additional examples.
Height variation
A variation in height may occur as a
setback of part of a floor or a change
in roof line. In this example of a single
building, a portion on the right is one
story less than that on the left.
Color Change
Color changes may occur as significant
vertical or horizontal design on a building
wall, where it maintains an overall
cohesiveness in the building design
[i.e. avoid abrupt and inconsistent color
changes]. In this example different facade
modules vary in color.
Material Change
Material change may appear as a
significant vertical or horizontal surface.
In this example of townhomes, a change
in material expresses each unit.
