File New York Daily News building 1930.jpg thumb Daily News Building New York Daily News Building featuring a number of setbacks. The setbacks on this tall building are irregular, not following a set pattern. They result in a somewhat narrower top compared to the base. It was designed by architect Raymond Hood , 1929. A setback , sometimes called step back, is a step like recession in a wall . Setbacks were initially used for structural reasons, but now are often mandated by land use codes. History Setbacks were used by ancient builders to increase the height of masonry structures by distributing gravity loads produced by the building material such as clay, stone or brick. This was achieved by regularly reducing the footprint of each level located successively farther from the ground. Setbacks also allowed the natural erosion to occur without compromising the structural integrity of the building. The most graphic example of a setback technique is the step pyramid s of Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt , such as the Teppe Sialk Teppe Sialk ziggurat or the Pyramid of Djoser . File Empire State Building from the Top of the Rock.jpg thumb Setbacks are often used as equal blocks that makes a building look divided in separate blocks especially if smaller setbacks are mounted on top of bigger ones. This design makes the building taper with height such as the Empire State Building in New York, one well known example of a building featuring symmetrical setbacks. For centuries, setbacks were a structural necessity for virtually all multi level load bearing masonry buildings and structures.
