Assignment 2: Development Problems

Developing the actual screen hasn't been that difficult, tutorials have been a huge help in determining the order of the commands, and how things relate.
What I have struggled with is how the remainder of the building will interact with the screen and window. My abstract geometry is difficult to build off of. While I could rebuild the entire structure, due to time constraints, I have been attempting to build the remainder of the building based on the existing window and screen.

I am imagining a space that can have multiple purposes, theoretically a performance or entertainment space, and located near an urban yet seaside region. The Baltimore Inner Harbor is a great example. A region of business and entertainment, yet not right in the middle of the city. Exposure to sun is also highly valued. The program within the building can manipulate the amount of lighting that enters within. For instance, an exhibit can allow all of the sun to enter, but a theater presentation or a performance may only want to utilize indoor lighting and shut the screen entirely.

Below is an image of what my building has come to look like. The only real source of outdoor lighting is through the window with the screen atop of it.
