Reflection:
From what I could gather from my reviews it seems like the different scales of the tower were received quite well. Turns out that the floor plan and units create a nice diverse aesthetic in perspective that is village-esque and friendly to the human scale. The overall scheme and idea communicated is strong. If I wasn’t there to explain it though, I don’t think that the graphics themselves would say enough to get the idea accross. So the biggest thing I need to work on is how to better represent my ideas graphically in a more clear, enticing way.
We talked about moving my vertical circulation cores to the park/community areas so that residents of the tower really had to walk through parks on their way to work. My facade idea of the operable panels that interact with the wind was received well. Also I need to work on the crown and podium of my building since there are no big moves made there yet.
Moving forward, I am going to work on my facade and how the structure could inform the that. Also thinking about the ground floor and maybe breaking the ground plane. Finally, graphical representation.
