Controlling height is the maximum height a building can be constructed in a specific area according to local zoning regulations and building codes. It is determined by various factors such as the building's proximity to airports, historical landmarks, and nearby buildings.
Controlling height plays a crucial role in building design as it helps architects and engineers to determine the maximum height of a proposed building. This, in turn, can influence the building's shape, form, and function. Additionally, considering the controlling height is also important in ensuring that the building design complies with local regulations to avoid any legal issues or risks of having the building demolished in the future.
