Architectural Ensemble

An architectural ensemble is a group of buildings or structures designed and constructed to work together as a cohesive whole. It is defined as a collection of architectural elements and features that form a unified visual expression. The result can be one that appears more than the sum of its parts and achieves a unique identity and character. For successful design, an ensemble must have an intentional design that is balanced, harmonious, and unified. The balance and harmony of an ensemble is achieved by selecting elements based on a selected theme, style, and concept. It is important to consider the context of the environment and to create a sense of place and identity for the ensemble.
