Yesterday I had my second thesis review. I thought it went better than my first one; the conversation about my project was a lot more focused. I now need to focus on a few things, the first being how the Willis Tower relates to the whole city of Chicago - I have weather data for Chicago so I need to relate that to the city and to the Willis Tower. I need to have my work present biomimicry not as a metaphor for sustainability, but as a tool to accomplish sustainability. Some of my diagrams are overly simplistic, so I need to add the appropriate complexity to them. I need to focus exactly on what I think is important for an office space, so far it is day-lighting and how it affects the interior of the office and the people who work there. And finally I need to decide what it is exactly that I want to design, currently it is looking like a responsive facade. I'll use the specific office that I chose as a testing ground for the facade and show how it can be applied to the building and see how that affects the city. This will bring my research full circle.
