The "breaking up" of the building is referring to a way of articulating the facade so that it is not perceived as overwhelmingly massive or monotonous. This articulation can be accomplished in a number of ways, including a change of materials or stepping back or forward within the setback zone. It does not mean that the building needs to become multiple smaller buildings with setbacks between the buildings.
