I like the 3d model massing study. I think the sketch up models are much clearer that the physical models. The sketch up models seem to show the overall scheme very clearly.
With the section drawing I don't think adding another floor to the main massing will even it out. A third floor could cause and an odd space looking down on top of the existing food court roof, unless you are planning on doing something with the food court roof.
Mayby the scale of the observation tower could come down a bit. I like the quality of the drawings with colors.
The folding of the roof at the tower is a nice idea. Try to apply that to the main building in order to avoid a nondescript flat roof. That gesture could in some way even relate to the way how you cut the volume to make space for the stair.
Could someone send Eric the sketchup model of the context?
I live in Bartlesville, Oklahoma home of Phillips Petroleum and F.L.Wright's Price Tower. I share my home (currently under renovation but then again, whose in this profession isn't?) with my beautiful wife Jeanifer, our equally beautiful daughter Ciera, two dogs and three cats. I work at a small firm in Tulsa where I am the senior project manager. I graduated just across the Charles River from the BAC at MIT in 1994, with a Bachelor of Science in Art and Design. I am excited and a touch overwhelmed at continuing my education again after *cough* 14 years, however I look forward to an amazing 2 years with everyone.
