STUDY METHODOLOGY
Project historians utilized a building massing study to
determine the extent to which the proposed NFATC Master
Plan Update has the potential to cause indirect visual effects
to nearby historic properties. The massing study utilized a
digital model of the NFATC site that included topography,
existing buildings, proposed building additions, and proposed
new buildings in Revit. A viewpoint was established in the
visual model in order to create a building mass.
Project historians visited NFATC site in summer, fall, and
winter months in order to get a sense of how seasonal
changes in leaf cover affect the visibility of the NFATC site.
Photographs were taken during these field views from within
the Arlington Hall Station Historic District and within the
neighboring Barcroft and Alcova Heights residential historic
districts. The building massing generated in the digital model
was then integrated into these photographs behind existing
vegetation and other obstructions including buildings. In this
way, project historians were able to determine the geographic
area within which visual effects may occur as a result of the
proposed new construction.
