(the spaces i.e. studio, lecture theatres are in the same position as my previous draft)
Aerial view of the bridge- I retained the layout of the previous draft but changed the form.
Above university mall. This space will also have lockers and double as a library/ hangout space.
Shape of the studio building. Inside will have studio rooms (top) and computer labs (bottom).
Open foot bridge between the lecture theatre and main foyer. I found this to be necessary as to not block the view for people driving.
Slanted entrance to the lecture theatre/s from the bridge over university mall.
View into building meant for offices/ meeting rooms (rooms not constructed yet). I was thinking of rooms that were both on the floor and ceiling.

Moving elements
The glass roof covering the bridge (library/lockers) over university mall can slide down. As most of my bridge/school is covered, I wanted to create a space that felt more open. This space is more of a community space where students other than architecture students would traverse.
Second moving element will be walls that split into study spaces- like a split pin. This will be inside the studio/computer labs space, creating privacy from people who may be moving through the area to get to other buildings. I will model soon.
Hi Berenice. The forms are looking ry evocative! I think a challebge will be opening up enough of the building so that occupants can enjoy views out and not feel cooped up without loosing the visual continuity that you currently have when viewing from the exterior. Perhaps the solution is having parts of the building overlap like in the slanted entrance image to provide little pockets of views out. Only opening to the sky is a nice idea in some places but i wouldnt rely on that as a strategy throughout. I think your general form is on track now barr some fine tuning, the key now is to resolve the detail. Im not so sold on the glass roof, its an acceptable detail but i feel more conviction with your second idea as a sognificant and distinctive exploration of 'moving architecture'. Hope this helps, you're doing well, keep at it. See you in next studio. Chris.
