Major Assignment - Post 4

I was interested in playing around with the previous model, especially with its materials, of which I was planning on using a tilt up concrete panel with steel and reinforced concrete columns. However i am quite fond of the idea of contrastign colours and materials, so i was think of using a rust colour for the think exterior columns and colorbond steel plates for the thin silver beams that confine the windows in the image above.
Instead of glass i was planning on using a polycarbonate, however the colour of the polycarbonate has not been decided yet. For the moment i have used an orange tint, however it really depends on whether i try to lighten the building materials or keep them dark.
