0.5) deviations - architectural features in their simplest form

> similarity to next building encouraged

>- ground floor windows and doors must be similar to windows, simplistically divided and proportioned

>-- setbacks are typically permitted for basic ( balcony, elevator) and minor ( windows, frames ) differentiation

>-= typically not counted as deviations incl.:

•framing ( must be small dark lines, white lines, or blended in )

•windows ( must be framed with thin dark or white lines, dark but not black glass, vertical rectangles )

•awning = cantilevered shelf w/o balcony ( typically used for weather protection of the ground floor, 1-2 hands thick )

•banisters ( most approximate the rest of the structure's framing )

•landscaping ( must be set in low rectangular frames, max of 3 kinds of plant and they must all share a feature, simply arranged )

•roofs - typically flat

•internal deviations - typically permitted

—

1) zoning by use - limits on height, width, depth, relative to each other and plot size, range of deviation from white. larger buildings are permitted more deviations.

—

1.5) the further from city center, the more relaxed deviations allowed

—

2) lower or watermost district is assigned cool colours beginning with muted blues, and the higher or more populated district is assigned warm colours beginning with soft oranges, loosened restrictions for off-white, even beige, mauve, taupe

{ example deviations:

•awning with a Fibonacci corner

•row of 3 windows slightly spaced differently

•color slightly different from approved palette

•window appearing horizontal but interpretable as multiple verticals

•striped setbacks without architectural purpose

•portion of border missing between setbacks to tie them together

•sphere supported by a cylinder on top of a large building

•pillars supporting an awning

•subtle internal diagonal crosshatch grid creating darker rectangles (“simulation color”) w/ awning obscuring detail, allowed on a larger building
