  1. You need to complete the rest of the building studies. You have all ten, but only seem to have two with diagrams.

  2. I challenge you to develop your response to question number 5 in more detail:

    What are your goals for working with this building type?

    What exactly do you mean by a creative building? Why are the exterior wall, interior spaces, and organizing (and I think maybe you mean interstitial or in-between spaces?) important to you in this goal? It is often important to develop a clear and concise verbal or textual way of describing what it is you are doing in order to create a clear and concise visual design.
