Plinth Topography
The darkest colors are the highest spots. Every block should be labled as well.
View across river
this is from the back of the panhandle of Nathan's building
PANORAMIC VIEW
This is a small version of a panoramic view from the plinth looking towards the city center. If you want these photos to use as backgrounds or whatever lemme know. I have them without photomerge too.
Plinth Block Heights
The corner of Mississippi and Russell is our datum point/bench mark. The height of the plinth block was agreed upon to be 20' tall. Now there is some topo change within the plinth block. These numbers indicate how tall each section is above the datum point, THIS IS NOT HOW HIGH YOU ARE FROM THE GROUND BELOW YOU! If you want some special topography around your site please let me know soon. The elevator is going to be in the sunken court yard.

5 landscape zones
If the 2 storey units are going to split into 2 groups of two, then I propose that we make this "fault" line the source of a narrow water feature that follows the main path down to the street.
I think some of you are under the impression that the actual landscape would be in a grid shape with perfectly sheared edges. For better or worse I was visualizing a more natural topography for the most part. The stairs upto the kitchen and down to the street would have a more sheared feel though. The stairs to the street are like the earth falling away until you get lower to the street where the last bit is a refined set of stairs that appear to keep the whole thing solid.
