The peeling and folding begin to create interstitial spaces that can become display areas, occupied by product or people. I definitely need to push this more - can the peeling and folding possibly inform the roof areas, or can the interstitial spaces act as the same kind of zone as the roof, for winter months? More thoughts and sketches are needed.

Why does the underside of the ribbon (the ceiling) have to be parallel to the topside of the ribbon (the floor)? You have the opportunity to disengage the two. Also, instead of just folds/bends to the ribbons, what about rips and tears and holes?
Rips, tears, and holes could be generated from the columns. I wonder how they work within the varying thicknesses of the ribbon. Do they go away? Does the ribbon become a self supporting "S" shape or similar form? The columns are starting to become secondary in these drawings, which could be a good thing, potentially.
you might want to take a look at the yokohama port building that was done by foa (http://www.f-o-a.net/flash/index.html). some of what you are trying to accomplish through sketches and by setting precedences really remind me of this project, it deals a lot with surface and slices through that create paths to different levels, it really is a cool project if you have time to look at it.
I guess I was thinking of the stairs, product display, etc as rips and tears. I fear I am being to literal with the folding/bending/tearing.
I like the duality of the columns - being a catalyst for the organic flow and yet being so rigid. I don't want to get away from them, or have them become secondary, because I think they are important to my concept.
And thanks for the site, Joe. It helped formulate some ideas for the overall building.
