In my final model, I built upon my quick study model and started with the trusses that dipped lower and lower into the building itself on one side and peaked higher and higher on the opposing outer side. I liked this complement between the outside and inside of the roof and thought that it would be interesting for the people inside to be able to see such a great change in roof level when standing at different points of the building. I felt that it would be interesting to add a horizontal component to the roof which already had a strong vertical language, so I added in a sequence of fehn-like beams with graduation in length to both the outer and inner side of the roof, in opposition to the peaks of the trusses. I like the effect that this addition achieved. I feel that the two components create a sense of symmetry that is interesting because of the repetition and variation of the trusses and beams.
