building mass
Some architects refer to "building mass" as something that represents the overall shape (as opposed to "inertial mass", which may also be used by the same people and can only be disambiguated in the context). One encounters expressions such as "building mass shape"
"The building mass will be in the shape of a triangular prism" -- or something like that.
Treat my answer as an explanation of the word you have encountered, rather than a suggestion for how to translate it. I myself find this term a bit odd; you don't have to copy it, but it will be OK if you do.

Example sentence:
Kursaal’s underplayed building mass lies clearly within the area of minimalism’s aesthetic demands
Make the building mass a simple rectangle in plan
