Massing (Architecture) Tratando-se de Arquitetura, conforme disse a Cristina, penso em Massing (não MasTing), e talvez as definições ajudem, ou não...

Term Definition
Massing - (Building Massing):
The volume and shape of a building.
Massing (and scale/size) of new construction and rehabilitations should be similar to the massing. A commercial building is typically a rectangular mass with a flat roof. Homes can be simple rectangular mass, or more complex with numerous additions, and typically have gable or hipped roofs.

Massing: (noun) The general size and shape of a building, which may be worked out before any of the fine details. A massing model, which shows the rough shape and proportions of a building, can be created.

Sem pesquisas ('tou saindo, mas não resisti!), pensaria em algo como volumetria de edificações, por exemplo.

Bom trabalho.

Hi, Francisco. It's written "masting" in the original document, so this is a misspelling. Your answer makes much more sense, thank you so much! You've nailed it!

Francisco, desvendou o "crime"! Responda lá, para lhe dar o "agree".
Às vezes, "matam-se" certos termos quando saem mal redigidos. "Masting" seria realmente "mastreação" como disse o José, embora eu ficasse com a pulga atrás da orelha por ser uma pergunta sobre arquitetura.

"Masting" or massing? (Kept short since I am posting from my phone.)

Dear Cristina,

In such feasibility studies, massing (and not masting) is an integral part of determining any project's viablility. In layman terms, a massing study deals with the predictive assessment of a built space's total mass (or volume); such as with the abovementioned zoning study, these two are fundamental in ascertaining the qualities and effect of such space within itself and its surroundings.

Penso que seja isso, José: Ver definição "mastreação" ("masting") na pág. 301:

Em espanhol "arboladura".
