Phase III Presentation

Everyone has an idea of what fortunate means to them. Good health, freedom, financial stability, and love are just a few.  These ideas weave together as one creating a fortunate life.  Our community embodies the word fortunate.  Each floor of the building will differ from the others, allowing the structure to come together as one in its own unique manner.  The immense outdoor space will allow residents to take in the breathe-taking views of the Ohio River and downtown Cincinnati.  Share your fortune with others in this exclusive community.

New Design Scheme

I have now created a new design scheme based off of the grid lines on the site.  I did this by pulling and pushing the various grid lines to come up with a blockish structure.  This structure would consist of different sized blocks placed on top of one another.  This would create a "weave" look.  This also helps tie in my first series of models which helped to show the weaving effect as well.

Revisiting My Site and Parti

After my review, I revisited my parti and site to try and create a design scheme that correlated with my parti.  I started out by making a grid design on the site.  I then started varying the grid lines, which allowed me to put my parti on the site since my parti deals with weaving different aspects of life together to form fortunate.
