(Old)"How High" Design ideas...so far...subject to change

Please note that I changed my poem back to my original choice and I'll have a few models ready to put up tomorrow. Any suggestions on the current ones would be very appreciated.

One of my thoughts is to create something open where the person is ascending, with stairs or platforms. Because the How High poem is two stanzas, I think the idea of having two of something as a base would be important, like the two large openings on the thick plans. The thin plans wind through and overlap to create a staircase, until you reach the top. There you can over look "how high" you are (pun intended) and have come. There is also somewhat of a fear factor, which is included in the poem. 

Another Design...

I wanted to give the illusion that there is two diagonals, but there is not. Again there is two forms making up the main structure. I thought it would be interesting to ascend and then over took where you have come. The stairs decrease in size to give the idea the things get harder the higher up you go in achievement. (but still functional)

Another design...

I wanted to make this more geomtric, the two outer walls bring in the "two stanza" factor again, as a base for the structure. The arethin horizontal planes ascending in the middle of the structure, they actually jet through the walls, creating horizontal detail on the outside. Possible the use of columns to hold them up, so really the frame work of the building is on the outside. And the inside space is for ascending and reading.

But I have for or five more ideas for this poem.
