Curt: What is your thought about the color? The power of your presentation is in the color, which should lead into research of materials. Right now the color is kind of quiet. If it was a disco ball is would lose its beauty.
Amy: You haven't looked at the nature of those boundaries between shared spaces. How do you engage ener-action between plaza and watching a movie? Your presentation is set up graphically beautiful.
Enno: Look at the two strategies between day and night. Don't hide the "sparkle" of the building form behing the tree.
Tom: I am not understanding the relationship between the street and upper level.
Herb: Look into way in which the glass can translate admirably. Look into transitions of treating the storefront glass. Jean Duvelle - 2 story glass wall into park (Paris)-good example of glazing.
Transparency: Talk about how it relates
Colors: Research motivation of thought and how it related to the color; daytime vs. nighttime
Interactions: What to they get you? Nature of boundaries that separate spaces
Program: Look at shared spaces; possible reconsider the night club program (empty during day)
Levels: Look at the plaza coming all the way to the street front
Diagramatic facade section would help
Pick 3 key moments
Interaction from sidewalk at Boylston
Animate the void between spaces on the second floor
What is the strategy to bring people through there - absence of design
What is occurring between building and sidewalk?
NEXT STEPS:
1. clarify my design ideas and pick 3 key moments.
2. study the program; its adjacencies & shared spaces
3. study the relationship between my building and Boylston as well as the interaction between my building and the sidewalk along Boylston with some quick sketch overlays.
4. build on what I envision the character of my design to be; dig into possible materials with some quick sketch overlays; study at daytime and night.

Hey Kate,
I really like the perspective views from the street. I think the interaction between the horizontal planes is cool, and is a powerful tool in getting people engaged that are walking out of the food court on the upper plane. A cool way to engage people on the street level I think would be key, interaction in the sidewalks, perhaps the pedestrian path would contain a piece that lit up when stepped on (down the street of course) before they even realized your design was even there. I like the transparencies, I saw some smart glass that was transparent until someone opened or closed the door and it immediatly went opaque! That could be interesting in the more private parts of the program. Anyway great graphics and colors.
Oh yeah, there were two types of materials that you suggested for green building, some type of fabric? I am sorry I cannot remeber what you suggested.
Thanks,
Curtis
