I realized how similar my design is to my case study. The height of the sffb in comparison to the other skyscrapers in studio must be the reason for the height or lack thereof in my current parcel design. The direction of my Valley is also based on the slopes of the Bay Area, and there are other relationships I see linked to my case study, like narrow buildings with long, flat facades. They were not intentionally related, though almost inevitable after the iterations. How similar are your buildings to your case studies?
This is my first diagram for the parcel design, building the valleys to create higher density without specific building geometries. The second is a later massing of a mountain of two buildings.
i like that you use structures found in nature - mountains and valleys - and incorporate them into your parcel. this is in contrast to more monolithic edifices that perhaps lean on the side of deliberation at the expense of structural breathing room.
