Latest Building Sections

These are the latest buildings sections to date, I am working on a fourth one. That would probably be it as far as building sections. I am planning on having some typical wall sections that show in detail the buildings envelope. For the presentation I will be coloring these.

Colored Elevations

Here is a quick color rendition for the proposed elevations.

This is a "work in progress" shot of the 3D model. Hence, there are couple of things missing. This was supposed to be a massing model but I started to get into detail so that's why it is incomplete. I will upload more images as soon as I get a more complete model.

I found this image in one of the San German websites. I though it was interesting since we are looking west towards my site(you can see Porta Coeli's roof at the top of the hill.) I believe the picture was taken around the 1960's. All these buildings were built illegally by poor people, they were ordered to be removed on 1975 by the city's government. The thing that I like is the different layers, textures and elevations that the buildings created. This is definitely something I have been looking at and trying integrate this layering effect into my design, basically creating a dynamic and pedestrian friendly complex.

These are the latest building sections.

Latest Elevations

These are some pictures of the different materials I am considering for my design. Corrugated Zinc, Wood Siding and Concrete. These materials are very common in Puerto Rico's architecture.
