Building #2. Phase Two.


THIS BLOG IS BEST READ CHRONOLOGICALLY.
IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST VISIT, 
PLEASE CONSIDER SCROLLING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE EARLIEST ENTRY. 

Here's what the building looked like at the end of Phase One:  


Still having plenty of bricks to work with, I decided to look for an opportunity to continue building.  I had created a single entry point where you could enter between columns into the central courtyard.


That entry point was a good place to add on so I tried different possibilities for an entry pavilion linked to the courtyard by a long arcade. 
 

The entry pavilion and the arcade kept getting bigger.  I soon realized that the buildings on the roof of the entry pavilion could be repetitions of the existing buildings that surrounded the courtyard. This provided many new opportunities for creating pattern. 




Those patterns may be a bit hard to find in the pictures above, but they show up a lot more clearly in the three pictures below where the building is viewed along its bilateral axis.
