Week-1 Less/simple is better

After taking a few steps back and re-examining the plan and space that I created, I noticed the madness and hectic order of things. Typically those character traits are not dominate in me or my designs.... wanting a more friendly and calm space I went back to the beginning. With a clearer understanding of the transitions, spaces and movement within this program here is what I produce:

Ken, your use of the columns mixed with the walls seems very ordered, yet not typical. I enjoy the views through them.

Ken, great second attempt. I like how you picked one of the geometries as your dominant one and added two more random diagonals to obliviate the given diagonal and its grid. I’m not sure if you need to introduce additional elements (thick walls and adding many small walls to create one long one) to make your composition work. I think inside/outside works, but I don’t see ONE entry. The spaces (1A/1B and SP) are clear. The ATs are good too, although not your strongest one in the composition; that would be the one between inside and outside on the right side (near LT). There ae two LTs near the label LT; the entry into the SP and strengthened with one more wall adjacent to the given diagonal the transition to 1B. The GT is currently not gradual at all. You are clearly either in space 1 or in TS. A gradual transition occurs where two spaces overlap.
Please don’t forget to format it on a Product Sheet and narrate.
