I have slightly revised my plan and sections. The vertical circulation now runs along the perimeter of the floor plates, allowing the consumer the oppertunity to experience the atrium/courtyard element throughout there travel. Also, to gain entry into the cubes, they must travel through the thick wall, creating a conflicting experience of being in an enclosed space.

Progress (01/31/07):
Plan and section with a perspective of the feature element. Feature element includes a "thick" wall with thresholds punched through it so that the consumer/user is able to navigate around it using stairs (still working on that item) to get to the programmatic elements that are cantilevered off the wall. I am currently thinking that the wall would be composed of either concrete (i.e. similar to Tadao Ando style castings) or a type of steel (cor-ten). The idea would be to have a material that contrasts the floating glass boxes.

How is your plan oriented to the site? Am I correct in seeing that there is a colonnade on the Dartmouth side wrapping slightly to the Copley Square side? I think the colonnade would be nice if the majority of it were on the Copley side as a transitional zone between the square and your store. How does this colonnade translate to the exterior, and does it affect the central open space with the glass boxes?
