Updated Floor Plans

After speaking with Eric this morning, I have revisited the floor plans. I wanted to post these really quick to get some feedback. Most of the changes have to do with the stairs, first floor and exhibit/lecture spaces- making the diagonal have a bigger role in the open spaces provided by the large trusses above.

Section B

I have been working on bits and pieces of everything this week so I don't really feel like there is much to show. I have been working on this section which is still a work in progress. Note the bare residences. My floor plans are almost finalized and I should be posting those tomorrow. Elevations are also all in progress as I have been translating those from the 3-d model.

Progress Sections and Elevations

In this section, I wanted to start showing the water feature and the outdoor space created around it. I need to get a scale figure in there to help show the heighth. I promise, Tim, you won't hit your head on the trusses, there is more than enough clearance through the hallway!

The South Elevation was a major focus for me this past week. I have begun to break it up into five basic categories. The scrim wall contains open space, mesh material, signage locations, transparent loggias and photovoltaics. Somehow I was still planning on working in shading devices but I think the geometry of the building actually does most of it for me.
The next focus has been how the water will work in 3D. I still need some more development on this but the basic shape of the feature is in the images. I wanted to get some feedback on it before I get into the type of detail that it will take. I am looking at the material toward the freeway be more concrete like while the interior will be smaller scale, warmer, brick?






For the next week, I am planning to continue to develop my sections. I have three started through the trusses and am trying to decide where to take a longitudinal one, do I do it on the diagonal or perpendicular to the others? I have been relying on the model to be my elevations but it doesn't read as clear as I would like. I am planning on having at least a north and south elevation in cad for this week.
