More Plans and 3d Model

These are some images showing my building in relationship with its context. As you can see from the first image the new building keeps a low profile from the from of the Porta Coeli Museum. I am planning on having a design element on top of the Music Lounge and Gallery that brings people in from the Porta Coeli's plaza above and the street. I had some trouble modeling the terrain so disregard the shadowing below street levels. The "screen wall" in the south east part of the building is meant to be a free-standing wall with some kind of louver system to protect the building from heat gain. The wall is meant to be transparent, not necessarily built of glass.
In terms of the plans posted here, I continues developing the ones posted last week and ran into some problems with the Concert Hall. Since I was forcing the Concert Hall to be located in the north part of the site and made it difficult to have a believable egress path, back stage area and loading dock. In the next iteration I am looking into giving up the inside-outside connection in the Concert Hall.
