Any suggestions on a better material or technique to make this exoskeleton in a final form than these two sketch models I started ?

Translucent concrete exoskeleton, glass interior structure?

Oops.This has no bearing on B1 studio.

My iPhone will not let me back out of posting this.Although sometimes it does feel like I'm carrying a large tree on my back. I'm just saying.

Kind of behind but this is what I came up with

I am thinking of the overhang of this building as a way to receive the ferry.This building does not suggest the movement I am looking for.

1/32 scale

Ok guys so I figured out how to convert the plan to 1/32. If printing out from AutoCAD doesn't work, I suggest going to staples and having them do it. The way I do it is by opening the AutoCAD file from the BRA website and I make sure it's in decimal format. Then I just make a straight line that is 32 units, this is a reference line. I erased all of the other parts that I don't need for the plan and then I typed in the command: jpgout and then selected all of the parts I need.

After its a jpg, I printed it out at staples and I measured the line that represented 32 units. Usually it isn't 1 inch, but you can find out how much to enlarge it by doing proportions. An example is if the reference line is 13/16 of an inch, then you do the proportion 13/16 (x) = 1 or 16/16. Then solve for x. In this example x is 1.23 which is 123% that it needs to be enlarged. After its done, it should measure to 1 inch.

After class yesterday a few of us had a discussion about urban design and suburuban sprawl. This clip is from Disney - and it has some odd similarities to where our world is today. Will it keep moving this way in the future?

Accessibility to commercial spaces within a quarter mile of the various T stations of the area and its contrast to the overall density of buildings.
