This is particularlyimportant on the ground floor of commercial buildings where pedestrians havethe most direct relationship to buildings.4.1.6 Human-scale design incorporates architectural elements that have arelationship to human proportions; that is, they are closely proportioned insize to human height, an arms reach, or the grasp of a hand. Form,articulation, massing, height, detail, texture, change in color, and pattern canall be used to address human scale. (See also Section 7. Lighting in thischapter for a discussion on human scale and pedestrian vs. driver perception.)4.1.6.1 Building massing shall be broken down to human proportions.Changes in plane, height, fenestration, roofs, etc. create intricaciesthat reduce the mass of a building. Relentless unarticulated facadesare uninteresting to the human eye and are not conducive toattracting pedestrians to a place. Effective elements include:building bays, towers, roof eaves, window proportions, arcades,awnings, verandahs, porches, and stoops.Page 26 ■ Chapter VI ■ Valley Connections
