Three animations/videos:

Animation 1:
This animation serves to illustrate the most relevant sections and views. These views succeed in highlighting the symmetry and geometries of the design. It spotlights the contrasting geometries in each space, each of them characteristic of their clients and intentions (i.e. open middle space or complex upper gucci space). Furthermore, it shows the journey that exists in travelling from each individual space.

Animation 2:
This animation aims to show how the building relates to its context and where it sits in the urban setting ( visually distinct and unique to both center and separate itself in the urban context, much like the way Central Park does in NYC.)

It also aims to imitate what walking up to it would look like, showing the middle section, a symposium-esque meeting place, and also showing the lower section, an open mini modern art gallery for CJ Hendry's work.. 

Animation 3:
The last animation finishes the interior walkthrough, displaying the upper section. It displays the many rooms surrounding the center 'crown'. These are meant to be studio rooms, for testing out ideas, so that in each direction you look, a different style and accumulation of fashion concepts would be present.

More importantly, the animation also shows the way the light works on the model as the sun rises and sets, highlighting the geometries as well as the 'life' of the building throughout the day. It worked out surprisingly well, almost looking like an ancient sundial, which is pretty cool.
