Studio Final: Model and Perspectives

Karrick, powerful images. The street view explains the two bars well; city vs. highway. The low-rise for me is too contextual (it looks like it was there before you built the tower behind). The main entry to the complex thru the empty shell in the first two buildings is somewhat creepy. The gesture hot bold enough for an institution. The modeled stair in the tower, light fixtures on the street and a few trees and people (typical entourage) could finish off your perspective nicely.
The rear view is extremely stark. It appears from this angle that your tower is a solid mass on all sides, as there is no hint of the curtain wall. On the left side or in the opening underneath would be opportunities to indicate the “soft” inside. Again, some more greenery in the foreground soften the edges a bit.

Karrick, sorry, didn't remember the (glass) elevator if occupying the front.
The collision between th ehousing and the tower is not resolved; hiding it behind the shell doesn't make the problem go away?
