Construction mask
A construction mask is the representation of the storey, eaves and ridge height of a planned building on a scale of 1: 1 on its building plot in order to visualize the dimensions of this structure locally during the planning phase. With construction masks, especially in controversial building projects, the integration into the environment and the possible addition of lines of sight that are important for urban planning should be better assessed.
Well-known construction masks were, for example, the visualization of the Berlin City Palace in the 1990s with a scaffolding that was covered with photo-realistic tarpaulin, as well as the similar representation of the nearby Schinkelsche Bauakademie Berlin by a tarpaulin house from 2004.
