16 Preserving and protecting the historic character-defining elements of the Walter Reed campus is the primary goal of the Design Guidelines. A key element in achieving this goal is defining the appropriate character for new buildings so that they will be harmonious with the existing buildings. The preceding historic building analysis has generated several principles and guidelines and is the foundation for establishing the following architectural character types/styles, as well as establishing the appropriate locations for these. All the campus buildings, as well as the neighborhood buildings, within the period of significance use Classical principles of proportion, massing, hierarchy, and facade organization. In most areas of the campus, new buildings will have a very direct physical relationship with the Principal Historic Buildings and landscape. However, this is not always the case. Establishing and recognizing the role that each building should play in the campus is a fundamental tenet of these guidelines Some of those principles have already been established in previous sections. a) To maintain the historic campus character of Walter Reed, all new architecture should be Principle Based as noted below: 1) New architecture should use classical principles of proportion, massing, hierarchy, and facade organization. 2) Buildings should have a parti that includes a rational pattern of elements based on rhythm and hierarchy, a hierarchy of windows, a clear definition of the external surface of the building as a wall, frame or skin, a thinness or thickness of elements appropriate to the external surface, a response to the environmental conditions and local climate of the site. 3) The facade parti and its subsequent articulation should primarily relate to the urban design idea and the character of the public realm the building abuts. 4) Every building facade should have a base, middle and top. The base, middle and top of the building should be in the scale of the building. 5) Every building facade should be tectonically correct. Building facades should be designed so that assumed vertical loads are carried to the ground by a reasonable and convincing visible structure. 6) A building facade should be composed of vertical proportions, whether in part or the whole of the composition. 7) Facade elements, including visual structural elements, openings and details should utilize a coherent system of proportion. 8) The ground floor of a building should be scaled to the pedestrian. One of the most important goals of this document is to preserve the Campus Character of Walter Reed while allowing compatible architectural styles to be introduced as part of the new development. The diagram to the right subdivides the Campus Character Areas into sub-zones to guide the location of appropriate Principle Based architectural styles. While a style may not be expressly noted for a sub-zone, it may be considered at time of design. b) New buildings should follow the guidelines below: 1) Buildings should be compatible and harmonious with adjacent historic or new buildings. The compatibility between buildings should be expressed in the selection of materials, colors, architectural elements, massing and facade articulation. Walter Reed should retain its campus character and presence as it has through its period of significance 2) New buildings should be clearly recognizable as one of the following Principle Based styles (examples found on the following pages): Principle Based Traditional Wall Principle Based Traditional Glass Principle Based Contemporary c) CCA 1 is subdivided into: 1A All buildings that surround The Great Lawn and form a composition with Building 1 are grouped into sub-zone 1A. No new buildings are proposed in this sub-zone. 1) Any new structures in sub-zone 1A, should be Principle Based Traditional Wall since they are viewed in close proximity and as a composition with Building 1 which is a Georgian Building. 1B The existing buildings in this zone are (were) comprised of primarily support buildings. They were a mix of Georgian and a simplified Classical Revival/ Classically inspired Power Plant. 2) Buildings in sub-zone 1B should be Principle Based Traditional Wall or Principle Based Traditional Glass to reflect this history and existing buildings. Design Guidelines 16

17 Principle Based: Traditional Wall d) Principle Based Traditional Wall architecture is characterized by: 1) Primarily Punched Windows 2) Primarily Individual or Paired Windows 3) High Proportion of Masonry to Glass 4) Base, Middle, and Top expressed with Recognized Traditional Forms (ex. Cornice, Sill, etc.) 5) Clearly Dominant Vertical Reading 6) Ornamentation of Architectural Elements 7) Simple Massing Design Guidelines - Precedents 17

18 Principle Based: Traditional Glass e) Principle Based Traditional Glass architecture is Characterized by: 1) Moderate proportion of masonry to glass or spandrels and glass 2) Base, middle, and top expressed 3) Giant orders may be used 4) Windows with mullions 5) Grouped windows, or larger windows, that are inset within the giant orders may be used 6) Grouped windows with individual frames 7) Special shaped windows may be used to mark entries Building 40 Building 15 Example of Classical Revival with Increased Glass to Wall Ratio Design Guidelines - Precedents 18
