The model seems very interesting. You will have a blast (or a at least a good challenge to figure out) modelling it for the next stages of development. I believe there is not much I can say that you don't already know. I find the dicotomy of existent structures/proposed structure rather interesting and, imagining it built i can see it work, but I can't stop wondering why have i never seen a student approach a project with a more subtle proposal, less contrasting with the place (even if the place "demands" it). You know, a proposal with a more classic, grounded building, that can serve as a vehicle to show some restraint and irreverence through simplicity? I know when young and full of blood we want to show our skills through elaborate designs but sometimes simple is more difficult and thus more challenging. And i know this is what is expected of students. One time in a class I tried the "simpler approach" and the professor of that class was actually surprised by the attempt. He made his (mostly positive) critique and then said that for that project i didn't need an advanced engineering degree just to figure out if it would stand when built. That made my day. =) I'm sorry, I'm just rambling by now. Great job. Keep up the good work. ES
