PUSH before the big mid-review

Lisa and I worked all through the week and weekend. After our pin-up on Tuesday, we were told to experiment more in section. We re-drew our Rhino model using new curves based on programmatic requirements, but keeping the same fundamental form of the "Introspective Learning Community." In our current model, the program on the first floor has subtle differences in ceiling height: the N (gym) has a height of 15', the E (admin. center) has a height of 13', the S (dining hall) has a height of 12', and the W (auditorium) has a height of 14'. On the next floor, 12' classrooms are stacked on top of this; each band is connected by slight ramps. The top level of each band houses a piece of shared program which has the same height as the shared program on the ground floor. This helps ground and cap our building, with the classrooms secured inbetween the shared program. Now, our building should read both horizontally and vertically.

We still have a lot of work to do before the review, but I'm hoping that even with a few setbacks, we'll get there and be ready to go on Thursday.
