(m) Fagades of Large Buildings. Buildings must use design <br />techniques to break up long continuous building walls, reduce the <br />architectural scale of the building, and add visual interest. <br />Specifically, any building facade longer than 120' in width must <br />employ design techniques to limit the length of individual facades. <br />To meet this requirement, buildings must utilize a combination of <br />vertical building modulation with a change in building materials or <br />finishes, a clear change in building articulation and/or fenestration <br />technique. See Figures 50 and 51 for examples. <br />(n) Blank wall treatment. Untreated blank walls are prohibited (see <br />detailed blank wall treatments in Appendix A). <br />(o) Rooftop mechanical equipment. All rooftop mechanical <br />equipment shall be designed, organized, proportioned, detailed, <br />landscaped (with decks or terraces), and colored to be an integral <br />element of the building. <br />PLAN ELEMENTS <br />Architectural feature <br />breaks up building facade <br />Figure 50. This building uses an angled window <br />wall over the primary building entry to break up <br />the width of the facade. <br />Figure 51.
