Currently working on studying the "feature" elements as well as the wall in materials. I believe that I would like to use a "heavy" material for the wall element (i.e. concrete of polished stone material). For the cantilevered elements, I believe one will be an all glass box, a second would incorpate glass and wood, the third would be a semi-transparent material, and the fourth would be a material metal (possible cor-ten). I am also exploring the notion of suspending the stairs from the ceiling/roof structure with a heavy duty cable system. By doing this, it would eliminate the need for any structural elements that might disrupt the views to the central core or to the floor plates.
It will definitely be a challenge to suspend the elements. I am really interested in how the elements all "float" in the space. Definitely give some thought to the structural system for suspension... it could have a major impact on the space. We probably will not get that far into the building with this studio, but it would be good to know for yourself.
Nice drawings. The transition from jellyfish to solid made a tremendous difference in the reading of the spatial quality. Much improved. It goes back to the vibrancy/energy of your initial conceptual storyboard, etc. And you are now achieving it without the use of the added imagery. Well done.
We currently live in a 1927 Craftsman house. Recently completed a total kitchen remodel, a complete gut to the studs and build out with our own two hands.
Our family consists of three cats: Shrimpy, Cocktail and Diesel.
My fiancee, Missy, also graduated in architecture from Ohio State. She recently passed the LEED AP exam and has several active green building projects through her firm, WD Partners.
An interesting quote from Renzo Piano during an interview with Archinect: "I think it important to note the difference between style and coherence. If you're talking coherence, I love it. If you're talking about style, then I start to wonder."

I think the suspension is intersting. How about wrapping the tension wires with fiber optics for additional visual displays, color and virtual motion?
