Expanded Axonometric For ARCH 658
The idea of the form came from inspiration of the Chicago skyline, specifically the form of the St. Regis. The St. Regis was designed based on the natural frustum shape of saphhires which fit well with my desire to connect through nature. The main goal of my design was to integrate a connection to the pre-existing park and create views to the city and park.
