Final Sketch up Design

I know this is slightly late but I had a bit of trouble getting this done but its complete now


Materials used:

Condensed- Used for the solid structure which supports the "Below" part of the structure, providing strong support for the structures above

Traslucent- Used for the glass in the bottom half of the structure, this provides a view from the outside but as it is underground there is only the Earth to be seen outside and hence why a translucent material is preferred over transparent here.

Transparent- Transparent materials are used in the complete "Above" section of the building. This allows light to be filtered through the structure creating different lighting effects wherever a person maybe. This structure is also solid enough for people to walk on, as well as a structure for walls and ceilings.
