A screen wall extends vertically through the building to create an area for information to be projected and to act as a meeting point upon entrance.
The parti model ended up being much more monolithic and solid in the photos than it was as I was building it. I suppose the scale is off as well and the building should be larger. I will attempt to fix those issues in the second and third iterations.
I really like the juxtaposition of these last two images; taken from the same angle, one with flash and one without. Flash has made the model seem completely flat, while without, the natural shadows create a great depth and complexity.

i like the progress you are making in thinking about the way the building will function and how you will bring these ideas of organizing a company around the principles in your thesis. What i especially like is these two identifiable way finding walls that not only act as major components of the architecture of your building, but provide a continuous and vital distinction of the purpose of your programming in the interior. To have the two walls individually have their own identity, not only in material and transparency but also in functionality, brings two different personalities to the space and can provide many further moves based off those differences.
I would suggest those two walls pierce all floors and the respected width and length of the building in its entirety. I would look at how you can move through the walls, along the walls, and how spaces can interact with, through, and how programming can be sanctioned off in the zones created by the walls and the spaces they separate and inhabit.
also, those two walls should help to formulate the exterior, not only peirce the exterior facade but give each peice that is formed its own identity that pertains to what is going on inside. Maybe the communial space is at the center and the walls wrap around it, and one of the zones on the exterior is more tranparent, one defined by color, one solid, etc...you are starting to create a language with these defining walls, allow yourself to explore how this language can dictate the interior as well as the exterior
