Nice. Even less control. You are still thining too much about calatrava, spikey hair, etc.
The second and the last are the most interesting. I don't get the toothpicks and I think they will compete with the vertical members of the facade.
I suggest you take some clay and make ten of these roof studies in no more than two minutes. Clay only, 12 seconds each. This way you can't think about them. Let your hands do the thinking.
Try that and let me know when its done. We might try this exercise a few times to see what can come out of it.
Matt,
I think something that Ted mention for your project is “how your hand might do the thinking”, definitely I think this I s the kind of project that is very “organic”, gestating from you just like a nature in the wild. I appreciate the different levels you have taken in your project: from the very smooth initial start to the cadent entrance to the evolution of your roof details.
I had the same “flash back” of some of Calatrava’s design (especially in Las isles Canarias) when I saw some of you models. This is a great way to develop a project. I look forward to see the next stage.

Matt,
I agree, use less control, however I think they are coming along. I picture the different zones demonstrated on your facade as all different levels/heights on your roof line. How is the rest of your project coming? Have you studied the floor system any more? I know that was something you were also focusing on at the end of the intensive.

Matt,
I think your studies are important because with all the prompting to let go and sculpt your building, you will have a fine store. I think this approach is more like Zaha Hadid's style than Calatrava. Some of these studies look like they could actually be a floor plan. Much like the Cincinnatti Art Museum I see the floor planes sloping out and up and perhaps there is a display or stair hidden in these pockets of sculpted space.
I know you know what you are doing. So just have fun with it and embrace the forms.
Matt,
Since Kara hit the nail on the head, that's why I was asking what you were doing about floor plans. I too thought some of these sculptures looked like they could be utilized as floor plans and didn't know if you had intentions for that or not. I know there was concern that your floor plans were big box retail floor plans and I think this completely strays from that idea. Let me know.

Matt,
Young Shots ready to grow!!!
Matt, you are interpreting the Familiar, and Celebrating the nature.
with both, the technique of clay used and the way of thinking,
I now understand, why you put the Green Apple in your blog page.
These, hairs, pencils or whatever, They are young shots, ready to grow!!!
I wonder if you could provide both, the growing of the green apple, till it gets red?
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? could these hairs, pencils ..etc be the rapid mitosis that provides your building with (what it needs) further potentials?
I see YOU created a rare opportunity to make a statement, statement of growth, potential and planet saving! something that your Client Apple may benefit much from, as well as the customer's Rewarding experience visiting your Building.
I am looking forward to learn from your unusual creative Process of designing this building!
