2nd Iteration

On this iteration we incorporated more of Ken Yeang's attributes...skycourts, lots of open communal space, tall ceilings, vertical landscaping, a light core, and topping it off with a green roof. We also took into consideration the solar/wind orientation, and seasonal change.

1st Massing Model Iteration

Our main concept was to incorporate a large wind gap that would allow natural ventilation. The gap is open from the South East to allow in the canyon winds.
