Matt,
Super! I am glad to see your building.
Again, would say Young Shots ready to grow!!!
Matt, you are interpreting the Familiar, and Celebrating the nature.
Growth in plants occurs chiefly at meristems where rapid mitosis provides new cells
I wonder how the levels would work (if there is any), how the vertical elements would be more and more involved with these levels ? could these vertical elements be the rapid mitosis that provides your building with (what it needs) Energy for example? or any other function in a building with vertical elements ?
The white curved wall on Boylston is very elegant.
I like the way the roof meets the verticals in the corner, could it be more dramatic? and more brave?
Its hard to tell which design works better, I tried hard to figure out which is better, couldn't make it
I think all would be good Except Design no 4, I think its not the one you want or going to do. the others give sense of continuity to the infinity end with the sky.
Again I would wonder if you could enrich the vertical's Idea by involving them as of more functional elements in the project!
Very Good work keep it up
Matt,
2 or 5 - hit it. In fact I don't see a difference between them 4 tries too hard, the others fight with the bulk of the building. The column facades should remain as delicate as possible to counter the mass of the building. The waving roof gets me there. Thicken it to close to something real, but not too thick. Maybe it tapers from a razor thin edge and thickens up as it recedes. Maybe it become the billowing walls as it thickens.
Why don't the columns continue through the roof. As this is an academic project there are no flashing detail problems. Amr's comment about pointing to infinity is worth some thought. Another idea is to consider the curvature of an assymptote. It begins at one point and raises quickly ever approaching zero, but never quite arriving. This might inform some of your thinking about other curves, or how the columns are defined.
Let me see some interiors as well. Assymptotic interiors.
Matt,
The roof is a success; I think it brings together the organic idea to a climax and it gives the whole project that “finish touch” (Amr call it infinity). What kind of materials are you thinking this building will be? Wood, glass and steel? Would you consider using solar panels????

Matt,
It’s great to see how the clay studies helped you find the roof and how it intersects the faces of your building. I think 5 comes from your original thoughts of the verticals having the sexy curve that you kept going back to during the intensive.
Your “sketch” post yesterday had several options on how the roof connected to the front wall and I'm glad to see you chose the one that created the "hump" at the roofs edge. It’s a great detail.
Like Ted, I wonder why you are saying the vertical elements aren't running through the roof... take it from the “realistic guy", go for it and as Ted notes, don't worry about those darn flashing details.
Great work,
