Final Mass - progress
As of now, I think that I've managed to create a form that will allow me fit some interesting spaces in section as much as in plan. I'm working on floors and structural supports now. This are pictures that should give you an idea of sectional environment.

  1. I will reserve comment until there there is a bit more to look at. this is promising, but I am still seeing a different set of extrusions here...

  2. I like where this is going especially looking at your bird eye views. I like that you are working with one surface that ribbons in order to create enclosures and apertures. In that sense, I wonder if that one surface that stands alone/floats can be integrated to the bigger ribbon. Does that space carry a program that needs to be highlighted differently and be a distinct volume? If yes then you need a bigger move, if no why is it separated?

    It seems from the elevational view that your skin as a general behavior opens up from the ground to the top. Is this intentional? It reads strange. Could the program of the enclosed spaces guide you towards a variety of behaviors in your elevation? Some spaces could open up from bottom to the top and some others could create a reversed effect; wider closer to the ground and narrower towards the sky. So, all of these folds that create micro environments and organize your space could change from top to bottom accordingly. This will help you avoid extrusions and you will work with double curve ruled surfaces.

    I am curious to see how would you introduce your structure and slabs.
    Could your skin become the structure?
    I would recommend that you work ASAP with vertical sectional, cut planes.
