This week was a continued refinement of the scheme, with the greatest challenge being how to tie the landscape with the building. The upper office portion intentionally segregates and disregards the landscape below, but the production facility which is partially embedded takes on and responds to the adjacent landscape. I attempted to make the structure respond accordingly to where the mounds (randomly) appear along the east facade by extending struts into the landscape at an angle so they appear to be ‘drawn’ toward the land and ‘repelled’ by the water. It is only somewhat successful, so I am going to have to try something else.
Otherwise I spent much of my time adding details to the model and building Revit families.
