Revisiting the Tokyo precedent study for Gyre Building, trying to understand the relationship of public movement and circulation system (inside-outside) that hopefully will help in my formulation of design strategies.
the drawings of the Gyre building in Tokyo looks good! Perhaps you can improve some of the communication: when you are showing the terraces only the terraces are colored; same for the circulation. So, it'll become even more evident what the diagram is showing. I would also try to show the particular relation of the entrance with the public space. If you remember, the facade line was oblique in respect to the street line and had a cantilever on top. This was inviting to enter and may link to your site studies about public and private space.
