Thesis Breakthrough?

Today I had an idea to add some interesting spatial features to my design. I was upset in how orthogonal the building was becoming, so I decided to play with the angle created by New York Ave. at the north end of my site. I applied this angle to the pavement pattern at first, and this idea started to manifest into the skin of the stadium as well. With the skin and pavement going one direction and the structure and playing field going in another, an interesting dichotomy is created. I started to sketch out ideas of the pavement pattern and saw that if horizontal strips are used, a plethora of different materials could be installed (solar panels, led screens, glass, concrete, etc...). Development is in process.....
