Progress

   Trying to finish my floor plans, going from ground level (Far left image) to 3rd floor (Far right image) you can see that my top 2 levels are pretty finished. There are some minor adjustments that I would like to make, but  for the most part it is my lower 2 levels that I need to focus on.
   After discussions with my professors, I believe that on ground level, on the public block (left) I'm going to incorporate a cafe, some gallery space, and entrances. On the private block, I am going to incorporate a private entrance, but am a little lost as to what ells? another gallery space? or maybe something ells.?
   On the 1st level of my building, the "L" like floor slab will be more public gallery. But in order to keep this separation from private and public, I have added a sloped walkway that you see on the lower left side of the public building ground level plan, and then you see it continue on level 1. This structure is for the public to see and and grab their attention to walk up it. and then this way, steer the public away from the private areas or even semi private areas.
   Also on level 1, in the private building, I want to incorporate some small classroom areas for teaching, and maybe even a small auditorium for some guest speeches or what ever ells.

   When it comes to my 1st render, I am just trying to play with materials and lighting. To tie my materials back to my site, I am using concrete building walls, wooden mullions and glass for circulation, and brick stairs.
   This render does not show my windows on the building it self. it was just to play with lights and see my building as a whole.

    This is a section to show my building and stair and how the work together. The stair does go threw the entire building for both, but there might have been some walls/rooms that could have prevented the stair from showing.
