Why is building massing important to the design of a building?

Building massing is crucial in design as it influences the overall aesthetic, functionality, and spatial relationships of a structure within its environment. It helps determine the scale and proportion of the building relative to its surroundings, affecting light, shadow, and airflow. Additionally, effective massing can enhance energy efficiency and support the building's intended use by optimizing layout and circulation. Ultimately, thoughtful massing contributes to the architectural character and user experience.
