Carli, ultimately your (late) change to moving the main mass towards the pike and creating a (foldet) green space along Boylston has great potential. Below some web pages that deal a bit with the folding landscape; treating the ground lake a sheet of viscose material that can go up the walls, become ceiling, floor, roof, etc.: http://www.3gatti.com/Francesco-Gatti/telecommunication-tower/telecommunication-tower-01.htm http://www.unstudio.com/projects/year/2005 James Stirling wressled with unorthodox geometries quite often, as shown here in this picture of Andrew Melville Halls in th UK: http://screencast.com/t/rjm3Tnra One of your big ideas was to try to create immediate immersion; as you stumble out of your bedroom you are immediately in a (not necessarely your) classroom. Instead of bringing light between the roof of a bedroom and the floor of the room above, you might be able to increase the tight knit feel by borrowing light via bed- or bathrooms? I could also see that in your development the bedrooms would start to hug the majority of the east, south and west walls of the classrooms, stretching your bedrooms into wider, less deep spaces, keeping them lit from southeast. The north facade with it's waste amount of great northern light might develop into a double wall / wintergarden, to cut down on heatloss and control noise.
