The images above are of the exhibition gallery located in the center of the educational building. There are several shops joined to it located along the souther side of the space. This allow people to view the exhibition while enjoying thier coffee. There is a water wall in the center of the room shaped in a way to direct winds and to allow for evaporative cooling while the wind moves across the form. The roof of this space is broken into several peices and angled in a way to take advantage of the path of the sun. Photovoltaics line the glass on the roof in a way to allow sunlight in while at the same time shading certain areas to prevent overheating. This space has mostly glass to make it as warm and lively as possible.

jesse,
keep moving forward with all these things.
It would be nice if we could get more informaition on shade and shadow, what the quality of the light is, in spring, at the soltices.
your book shelf/ventilation system that you were proposing isn't there. you can't have backs onthe book shelves, you can't have towering bookshelves (nor do i think the library has that many books. You need to remember and keep focused on demonstrating those wonderful green features that will make this building a celebratory space.
keep adding people into the renderings - although i think the scale of the current insertions are off - i don't think your building is that MASSIVE. but they do help add scale.
If you unsure as to what size to photo shop them in at put some 6' tall posts in the model, then when your ready for phtooshop put the images over top to block out hte posts, and match them up for 6' at scale and perspective.
It would be good to get more views inside and outside - from ground level.
No one except rude helicopter pilots experience architecture from the air - it only helps to pouint out stuff - but i'm more intersted in the experince of the space - where do i walk when approaching by the walking paths? what does the entryway feel like? how warm and sunlite is the gallery? Am i burning up under all that glass? or losing to much heat? how do i see/feel/express the wind flowing through this building? the rain collecting? how do those systems showcase themselves.
you've got to show us the systems AND the building.
lots more work for next week!!!!!
