Concept 1
For this concept I changed the spaces between each cladding panel, so the panels at the start are very close together and then gradually the distances start getting bigger. The main reason why I done this is because I wanted the pentagon to look like it is 'merging' from the building gradually.
Concept 2
For this concept I changed the sizes of panels, so at the front they start of small and gradually increase through the pod. This was also a very effective concept as it did have a strong impact on the overall design.
Concept 3
For this concept I started rotating the cladding panels, each panel is meant to meant to be rotated the same angle each time. However this concept wasn't as effective compared to the other concepts.
I felt this mass modeling was very effective as it helped me to identify which will potentially be the most successful concept. As it was a physical model it enabled me to look at the concepts from different angles and make a more effective judgement. As concept 1 & 2 were the most successful concepts i decided to merge both ideas together as i feel this will make my overall design a lot more sophisticated and interesting.
