I know that I can no longer eliminate most of the walls. I planned on having the guests begin at the main entrance, then be lead to the left. When they enter, the movable walls will lead them around the bottom floor and into the rear stairwell. When they enter the second floor, they travel down a dark hallway, which then reveals the "rooftop" garden.
My narrative was about what the city looks like now. And what the city looked like before highways and skyscrapers were built. The garden, then, would be a reveal in the end.
Somehow we need to incorporate technology. My idea was to use their cellphones or another device to time how long the guests spend on a particular section, but at this point, i don't see how time would be relevant. Maybe we can use that idea, with the story and say that for every minute you spend... something happens to a baby seal... or something like that.
I need to keep in mind that the pelotes do not necessarily have to be thin, round columns.
We both need to find a way to use that spot number 8 on the second floor. what will the guests see when they look down?
I would appreciate any comments or questions..

I like your ideas with the addition of a wall and I think it could work in our favor to direct people and make the exhibit flow the way we want to. I still somewhat question using the back stairwell just because it doesn't seem to be that visible, but we can check it out when we make it over there on Friday...hopefully. On the other hand, if we take advantage of the main stairway it will make it much easier to make use of the 2nd floor overlook...which I think it a really nice idea and I mentioned in my post having something on the floor below that can only be seen in its entirety from above. It would make for a nice 'ah ha' moment and sort of culmination of the exhibit.
Using the devices for time is an interesting idea but I'm not quite sure how relative it is...maybe we can use time in a different way, such as showing the 5 Points used throughout history. Similar to what I mentioned in my post; using the app or whatever to contextualize Corbusier's ideas in today's world.
Take a look at my post, let me know what you think...we have some good elements we just need to work them together. Thanks for posting!
