Rick, I love the sections.. I think that scale figures, even used sparingly could be beneficial.. Right now, it can be difficult to relate to the scale of some of the spaces..

Rick, beautiful presentation. Your elevation study can be abbreviated, you have a lot of repetition in your main building which makes the composition somewhat easier. Details? Your first floor plan needs a bit of work. Can your sectional idea for the back turn into a plan idea on th efirst floor? Be careful with the main entry. Visitors do not need to be experiencing the shells right away, but it woul dbe nice, if all the "fun" spaces weren't kept to the insiders only. The rear stair at the end of the bridge needs a bit of love; something more whimsical could hold that end too and more in keeping with the rest of your project. Two images you might find interesting:

Werner... thanks for the links, very helpful. Posted a few sketches that outline my current thoughts... pretty rough sketches at this point... more refined details and elevations to come.

Pete... if you look close enough there are a couple of scale figures in the model... hehe.
