Since the last entry the model has changed substantially, and I think it might be beneficial to compare the two as a form of a critique. Below, on the left, is the model form two weeks ago, and on the right is the new model with a few attempts made to explain the excited connection between the single unit and the rest of the building, and the 'dead' units added to deform the structure.
The excess of curves has led to a confusion, or rather, a contradiction in the original concept. More curves than units has blurred the association between these two elements. The 'excited' connection to the single unit also looks out-of-place. I think this connective device may suit the previous design better, and the pattern in this connective device might serve a use in the simplification of the design for the wooden horse.
The distortion caused by the dead units has had a negative effect upon the rest of the model. They need to be re-thought for the final, as they are also the most exorbitant structures within the design.
The slope in the units' parapet walls is something crucial to the sculpture, it reduces the hardness of the edges and reinforces the folding notion.
Translation
In the model, its repetitiveness needs to be exemplified. Reducing the curves to a single straight line and adopting the pattern from the excited connection of the latter model would be best. This might translate as an axis similar to ones present in nearby properties, and might serve as a privacy wall.
The connection points should be like typical extensions, where the structure's sibling is attached to the structure, but not of the structure.
The tower could be a parapet walled street facade element, or resemble a portico structure
The empty unit might be a skillion roofed extension.
the windows might be unusable balconies on a non-existant first floor, above the entrance.
Symmetry is crucial.
The interior will provide the best example of the sculptural form of the building.
The garden/landscape needs further thought.
