references and sketch

 This is the town hall for Birchwood community. I decided that I wanted the buildings to resemble things from nature but be constructed out of a combination of man made and natural materials. In the final sketch the hodgepodge of materials will be much clearer. I figured that most of the materials would be bits of aluminum and glass for their accessibility and reflective qualities, as light comes in from small holes in the tree so the space would be illuminated by the reflection of light off the objects.
