Hi Aras- Having got this far is great and I think the hierarchy of the section is becoming more apparent. However....continuing from my earlier comments- what happens beyond the building- it is currently floating is space? I also understand that you have acknowledged the datum of the railway etc. but there are other critical edges and datums such as the surrounding streets etc. Also the sections seem to be constructed from rooms that are accumulated, instead of clear volumes and spaces- there is still a lot of slack space (in-between) that could create more tension in the section. Keep going!
Aras, similar comment for this drawing to the previous one. If it is about internalizing urban circulation you need to show that on the drawing. I would also see with Scobie Alvis some more precise input about the structure. Is this about a series of cores or larger structural elements with room/boxes hanging off. Your structural study animation suggests as the envelope is carrying the load of the building. You will also need to solve the relation of the rooms/interior with the envelope. Is this last smooth as your previous drawings were suggesting? Is the building smooth on the outside and have a different quality on the inside as for instance resembling more the quality of a street patter of facades?
