I propose we use very simple standard building materials to create a very complex non-standard architecture. I read an article in Wired awhile back about a mathematician that was creating topological forms with Lego's. It's a good precedent for creating a really complicated form with very simple materials. The other advantage of using simple materials being the availability of pricing and simplicity of labor, which should allow us to get a somewhat accurate price estimate.
This proposal uses primarily 8' 2x4's to create a continuous parasitic ribbon that defines our area.



These rhino shots are just demonstrating the possibility of a wall of 2x4s that could pivot around one point.
Aesthetically, I also like using the rhythmic vertical elements because it mirrors the corrugated steel of the existing facade.
Possibility of a vertical element along that ribbon.
