What can I say – you need to work more. The ideas are good, but something is getting lost in your conceptualization process. I believe its 90% due to not having contiguous work time. You need to find more time to think – make – think more – present. Be more self analytical. Perhaps you need to be more radical in order to beak the malaise. Go back to your first sketches and the structural ideas you were discussing – but no sip panels.


The concept needs to develop out of place. The program is about the earth – so should the architecture. Present the various possibilities.


Forget the public access – this is a bare bones research lab. What does this mean to the architecture? The structure? How does it “touch the earth lightly”


You must be able to present your research, analysis, methods, toward the development of a conclusion – the various conclusions develop your the decisions about making. Right now everything is jumbled together and it’s getting more and more clouded. I’m not sure if you have asked yourself – what am I doing, what is it that I should do, what do I want to do and why?
