Post Presentation Review

My presentation went fairly well. The main idea that cropped up repeatedly was that the portrayal of electromagnetic fields would have been more powerful if it had been done on a less obviously electrical site. This was something I looked into early on during site selection. I discuss this in my portfolio and give criteria that led me to the site I chose.
The main problem with my presentation that caused this to crop up was that I didn't manage to express properly that along with my investigation of EM Fields, I was also attempting to embrace the spectacle of electrical consumption and the infrastructure required. Looking back I still feel that with this two-fold purpose in mind i made the right site selection.

Progress so far

Bits and Pieces

Here is a sample of some of the supporting components that will be going inside/around the model. These are built in the same manner as the eletrical towers for reasons of strength, simplicity, transparency, and also to provide a visual connection between the inside and outside zones.

Rough expressive sketch

Here's a quick and dirty conte drawing of the effect I'm looking for.

I've been working on the mechanisms that are going to be placed within my site model. I've determined the types of mechanisms required for my design and have began to place them within the model in such a way as to provide an even density within the entire volume. I transferred the hydro tower aesthetic to the interior of the building. This type of construction makes sense for what I'm building in a couple of ways: it's a strong, yet relatively transparent construction method that uses the same materials I'm already working with while also bridging the gap between inside and outside visually.
I expect to have at least a couple more mechanisms as additional relationships and requirements are stumbled upon during construction.
