Spanish term or phrase: equilibrar la volumetría de los monumentos
I looked up volumetric and I just don't understand how it fits here... help, please!

Todavía cubierta por altos árboles, la antigua ciudad conserva su misterio. Contribuye a ello el hecho de que el proyecto arqueológico que ha intervenido el sitio desde 1994 incluye un perfil ecológico que procura ***equilibrar la volumetría de los monumentos con la vegetación que los cubre.***

Notes to answerer
Asker: Fabio: Your explanation helps me understand the meaning greatly (thanks!), but how to put it in English? "volumetría" seems to vanish in this version that I'm trying out: This is partly because the archaeological project begun on the site in 1994 includes an ecological component, aimed at ensuring a balance between the buildings and the vegetation that covers them. Any ideas on how to make that better? Thank you, again!
