This view shows all three spaces at once: looking in through the top bubble window, and through both domes into the subterranian area.

A view back up through the bottom glass dome. The large set of spiral stairs you would take to get to the top is just visible.

This video is the general idea that my building was created around. The shifting shape of the bubbles and their movement.

Week 1: sketchup model and sketches

Sectional drawing: Wondering - Freeing

Draft Sketchup Model

18 Sketches:

Top: Helpless - Moving

Bottom: Helpless - swing
