elevation shot of the 3d model

playing around with voids that let in light at specific times of the day throughout the year…

i think i’ve settled on dimensions and orientation for the arena space – matching it with the rest of the massing now… also starting to erode the base for the large and small entrances into the arena (still avoiding plans and sections)…

its not that i have a thing for christmas colors, red and green happen to be the only colors currently available in grasshopper

trying to get the varying floor heights into the grasshopper definition… also messing around with rotating the arena shape to see how that affects the slopes… the images below show the structural grid of the building – baked the center points of each structural bay to make the images with the white points

starting to adjust the massing of the boxes allow for sunlight to reach the center of the site

back to grasshopper

after a few days away from the computer I’m grasshopping again ~~ also got the base for the physical model in the works…  these are some process screenshots:
