realize these comments are late...but better late than...blah blah blah I am trying to go through these posts by date presented and my comments will be based on the posts previous to it. I will not look ahead just so that comments...even if late will perhaps have some value as observations even if not in time to be directive. I really appreciate this massing with the distortion playing in both plan and section (particularly the offset in the envelope to the slab plates). This is setting up a difficult structural and envelope detail (i.e., where wall meets plate -even if the plate is just an artificial projection) but it definitely serves to intensify the sense of a blade shearing the building. My only suggestion here would be to treat the corners with some of the same distortion technique...perhaps offsetting the depth at each level even if just at the prominent approach corner.
