Revised Site/Basement plan. The parking has been located under the building in and is enclosed for security. The rear drive leads to the loading and parking area which separates the vehicular from the pedestrian traffic..jpg)
The first floor now has an outdoor seating area which is situated over the parking area. After going through and lining up all the circulation I have now located the stair towers at the end of the floors which necessatated that the building be reconfigured at the Mass. Ave./Boylston Ave. corner. I plan on this area being for a raised sculpture.

The Second Floor has been revised to better show the Faculty Area as well as adding Student specific areas. The computer room has been located near the faculty area.

The Third Floor is essentually unchanged except for the stair tower locations.
Elevations and Sections to follow, I have had to basically redo my entire model due to technical difficulties, and it is taking longer than I wanted. I am trying to make everything fit and match my plans. Easier said than done when working with multiple programs.

I really enjoy the way your building cant's and steps down from floor to floor, the plans despite being fairly rectangular in nature are very dynamic, and suggest a freedom of movement within (and in the case of the roof's on) the space.
I can see your lounge on the second level being a really nice place to read a book (if only we had the time on site to do so), Very nice and open to above. I get a surprisingly good sense of volume from your plans.
I hear you on the model thing, that can be a real pain.
In a sense I found it easier to do computer models before I learned too much about how a building works, I now have trouble keeping it simple enough to be functional without obsessing about each exact detail.
I have abandoned the computer route in favor of physical one. A move I admit is not for everybody. I find that I learn things about the building and the site by physically modeling that I don't by computer modeling.
I like your site. Vehicular access off of the west side sure seems to help. Did you change the site to allow for this access? The site I am using narrows to 6-7 feet which isn't enough.
I like your slipping planes which create interesting and unique spaces throughout the facility. I can see where there have been challenges with the stacking of these planes. I think you have worked through this well. The ability to look down into your exhibit space is unique. I can see pedestrians taking a moment to investigate. I find myself wishing the outdoor space was closer to the exhibit space to further encourage interaction. The lobby appears fairly large, is there a way to get some public space close to the exhibit hall.
Should the outdoor space on the southwest side of the building actually be labeled as a roof garden? This is located over parking so it is a roof. The large overhang may make growing a challenge under the large overhang. Just some thoughts as I look over your project.
Nice work…
