Facebook's payment platform
changes its currency. The social network's virtual currency, called
"credits," will soon be defunct and people can pay in their local
currency. The company reported a net loss of $66.84 million, or 79 cents per
share, compared to a loss of $22.05 million, or 27 cents per share, a year
earlier. The philanthropic branch of the
Coca-Cola Company recently awarded $7.4 million for education, including $5
million for first generation college scholarships across the country. CSULB
officials are now in the process of selecting the first cohort of first
generation students, who will receive the award.
. Despite this being a seemingly straightforward notice, a lot can be read into
this plan. Adjusted for the deferral of digital revenue and other items, the
company said its loss was $50.94 million, or 60 cents per share, compared to a
loss of $14.42 million, or 18 cents per share, a year ago. The Coca-Cola Foundation will award 32,639 scholarships
nationwide, with 255,000 students benefiting from education programs. CSULB was
one of 169 colleges and other schools to receive grant support, officials said.

Combined Axonometric in Crysis
This is the monument that I developed combining Griffin's idea of buildings to face one another to give that sense of separation and Ando's idea to portray a relationship between material and the volume of the structure.

Combined Axonometrics
Combining the concepts "Designing with nature---preserving access to and views of native bush land and being sensitive to natural features such as escarpments, creeks, rocky outcrops and established trees" and "The use of light is evident in Ando’s architecture, creating a sense of exterior light penetrating the interior".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combining "Ando’s architecture brings forth an idea of connecting to a landscape; the use of glass material accentuates the connection between the external environments to the interior, whilst following the natural form of landscape" and "Explores the connection between the natural form and city purpose".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combining "Group of buildings faced one another to give that sense of separation and administrative zones" and "Concrete is infused within Ando’s architecture to portray a relationship between a material and the volume of the structure".

This is the axonometric sketch that i have chosen to model in crysis. With Tadao Ando's concept, using concrete portraying a relationship between a material and the volume of the structure.
