Unexploded Program and Circulation

Daytime exploration

I'm still thinking about the back wall condition.

Materiality Test

I did a quick night time elevation exploration to show my ideas about materiality. I chose a medium to dark grey brick that I want to be semi glossy and metal for the "pediment". The dark materials might make the project seem heavy but I like the effect that it will have at night time. The brick will also correspond with the site in a more modern fashion.
The glass will also be semi reflective to make the heavy circulation towers less noticable on the eastern side.

Updated Section with Plans

Here is the updated section with corresponding plans. I moved the staircase like you said and tweeked the program. The section comes together better and now I can add the mechanical louvres. The back wall is solid throughout the building so I'm researching doing something special with it. I also made the changes to the section that were needed.
