STYLE: BACKGROUND vs. LANDMARK BUILDINGS <br />Background buildin&s are designed. to fit the context that they are in, often <br />participating with other buildings to fonn spaces or `places' and. thus attempt <br />to call less attention to themselves in order to support. Traditional row <br />houses, shop front and. mixed. use buildings are background. buildings. <br />Landmark buildings are set alone in space. These buildings separate <br />themselves physically and. visually from the context that they are in. <br />Churches, civic and. prominent commercial or workplace/industrial <br />headquarters are examples of appropriate Landmark buildings. <br />Most background. buildings employ architectural styles that reflect the building <br />context, design character, proportions and. rhythms of the region's best <br />architecture, while also recognizing and. responding to the region's unique <br />climate. In other words background. building style and. expression should. come <br />second. to function, usefulness and. durability. An exception can be made for <br />more public, civic, or headquarters buildings ("Landmark" buildings), which <br />deserve special treatment with regards to self expression and. design as they <br />create landmark sites and. are often a visual focus. <br />❑ 11. MECHANICAL SCREENING —Roof mounted. service equipment will be screened. <br />from view at all times. Screening used. will ensure the roofscapes and. screening <br />materials or parapet is an integral part of the design of the building with respect <br />to form, materials and. color. <br />go <br />I I W3 le"n <br />
