I am posting to this plan as it is the most recent - but the comments are general to all of the drawings. Currently the plan provides little more information than the physical model did. Perhaps it is more (dimensionally) accurate, but it does not yet focus/investigate on issues that are more "plan-oriented" - i.e. thickness of walls, structural spacing, thresholds, material changes, display areas, etc. Consider the model as a "masterplan" for the store - dealing with the organization an zoning of the space. Now use the plan to develop the "architecture". Certain things matter in plan that do not matter in an model. What are those in your scheme (that fall within the main circulation ramp) and how can you explore them at a detail level? I think you enlarged details (plan and elevation) are depicting the proper areas/conditions to show/investigate, but again, they seem to be concerned with "master plan" issues (i.e. very little to no detail past what was shown in the model).

I suggest that you select one of the plans and one level of the section and progress the level of detail/construction of the drawings - keeping in mind how the treatment can be related back to/ informed by your conceptual storyboard.
