The presentation was mixed in reviews. The overall reception to separating the buildings was good however it was stated that a larger separation should be studied. The separation needs to be brought together when it comes to the elevations (which I knew prior to crit). Both buildings need to be in sync with one another. The loggia sparked some interest and needs to be developed further along with the base of the residential tower. The tower was received well suggested to push the idea further.
I believe that the following items, listed in order need to be focused on:
1. Separation and Elevations: These two areas need to be studied simultaneously. They will directly affect one another and while the two elements are studied, they could impact other design elements. This should take precedence at this time.
2. Mechanical systems need to be studies in order to finalize the floor plans and space that needs to be allocated for the mechanical systems. This should take place early on.
3. Environmental impacts need to be studied also to understand the use of my site as well as to understand space allocation as well.
4. The site plan needs to be developed in order to have a conversation between the site and the buildings.
5. The other elements have been studied in depth and can be in the back of my mind while I develop these aspects of my design. They will not be forgotten though!

Jaclyn,
I think you have a good game plan. I would urge you to also look at your original idea to make a gateway on the Turnpike. This would mean to create a sympathetic volume and gesture towards the Gehry building.
GO Jaclyn!!
Your game plan looks good (make sure you don't forget your code review/summary). I think your presentation went well and trading the clicking pen in for the laser pointer was good!!
The biggest comment during your crit seemed to be about the wind tunnel effect created between the buildings. During the intensive, we were given a waiver by the review board (werner) to go over the setbacks. I would guess you could also cross the B2 line and move your residence building further to the north to open up the tunnel effect. I first thought turning the building some, but after looking at your site plan I think that might even make it worse, as it would become a funnel of the NW winds.
Great job learning Sketchup during the intensive. I can't wait to see more.
