I am in the computer lab.
After a good weekend working on this scheme, a few suggestions from Doug:
- Medium theatres should be narrower instead of 42 x 39.5'. I've edited them to 32'x 48' instead, and rearranged method of entry/arrangement of seats inside.
- Escalators: I used some strange template that made them 21.9 degrees rather than 30. Like Jessy said, his Ching mantra, "1.732 times rise!" Instead, I used trigonometry and well, got the same. This changes a lot in my scheme, doubling the work.
- Less elevators, one more emergency stair.
Main worries:
- Cohesiveness of the scheme: will it stay intact after these changes? The escalators will change a lot of the plan, since initially, floors were planned according to the 21.9 degree template....
- Materials: what exactly, and how? What size panels? What do I want to show?
- And, combining the previous two: Will the experience I planned-- experiencing the city as one floats up the escalators-- be present in the product? Can there be a harmony between harmony and aesthetic intent?
- Emergency stairs-- I might need more.
Least of my worries/Minor worries:
- Parking spaces, need at least 5-10 more.
- Open spaces that serve no particular function-- I should embrace this, no?
Materials:
- Transparency: Escalators--> circulation completely clear, connection to city. Hallways--> opaque, separation from city, city lights blur, separation from vertical circulation. Restaurant--> moments of clarity (views), moments of walls (private). Lobby--> daylighting, facing north, no need for shading.

I shall post pictures tomorrow, diagrams, depending on how much I have done.
