Early Massing Ideas

I decided that it was time to start massing some ideas I had been having about this assignment. I started by making the basic shapes my building was going to encompass.

From here I started to add some structure, such as a truss system and a curtain wall. I had abandoned the idea of the folded skin as it was starting to obstruct the way I wanted the building to work. I had come up with the idea of having the building light up at night to allow the interiors to be shown and the folded skin was detrimental to this concept.

This is an interior shot of how the main space would look. The spaces would need to be placed higher or off to the sides in order to keep the perspective of the camera barrel.
