Modeling the mass It is essential to comprehend the building's overall shape in order to accurately model the mass. This may seem straightforward but depending on the complexity of the structure particularly when attempting to create a monolithic entity out of the mass it could become challenging. Modeling becomes simpler and easier if the main shape is grasped. In this instance, the building employs circles whose radius decreases as height rises, until it hits a midpoint, and then it raises once more, returning to the beginning radius.           b.      Modeling the envelope The building envelope required a different modeling approach than the mass did. As the envelope lacks a covering at the top and bottom like the mass does, using circles to represent them won't be effective. The revolve approach was applied instead. We get the same shape, but without the top or base covering which is the main desire. The illustrations below will demonstrate it. To do this, first d
