Nik - Mid Crit Model Updated

Here are my changes to my model so far. I tried cutting the theatre piece back using the line from the educational wing but not sure about it. Although I do like its separation from the other wing. The truss is working very well. I have a section of the lecture halls but its not posting for some reason.

Question for Derek

Hey Derek I was wondering if you could tell me where you get your plexi from? I'm trying to do my final site model out of wood and plexi and don't really know what to use and was wondering if you could help me out finding what I want since I'm not from here haha. My cell is 646.725.7033 send me a text. Thanks

Plans Thus Far

Plans are in order, Floor Plane -10 is on top, followed by 0, and lastly is +10

I know the hatches are turned off,

But here is where im at on my plans. Sections, elevations and model are all underway.

I realize these drawings look like mayhem right now, but theres a method to my madness...I think.

Floor Plans

First Floor- I came up with this configuration for the stairs and elevators... after many different attempts. I think it works better but I am not totally sure yet.

Second floor

Third Floor

Fourth Floor : still working on it!

Last Changes to Study Model

Professor Amatuzo stopped through today and was talking to Steve about my project. He commented that everything seemed to be working well except that the corner where the residences transition into the open space infront the amphitheatre seemed disconnected from the rest of the flow of the model. I think this made an improvement.
