EXP 2 Submission - The Architecture
This first image gives an overview of the three levels of the design and the ramp which joins them. The top level is the workspace of Stephen Hawking, the elevated position allows him a unique view of the heavens for research into theoretical cosmology and inspiration from the surrounding environment. The bottom level, belongs to Nicole Kuepper, the shape of the top space will provide interesting shadow formations being cast down upon her space. Investagations into the use of photo voltaics and their use can inspired by the heavy contrast of light and dark in this space. The space inbetween is linked by a ramp which at halfway joins the second level of a composite of both land and prism. The tree in the centre of this meeting place is referencing the apple tree that Issac Newton sat beneath which inspired his research into gravity. Hopefully the environment here can caus similar breakthroughs in practical science.
This image demonstrates how the structure fits in with its environment. The surrounding landscape forms an arena like space in which the design sits in the centre. The path that leads into the space provides glimpses of the design on the ascent but never a full view until it is followed around to the base of the design.
This image is taken from the meeting place looking upon the model and the ramp ascending to the top level. Shows how the space fits seemlessly in with the natural environment.
This final image is a view from the base of the model (Nicole Kuepper's work-space) and is the first full sight view of the building. It is intended to inspire awe to its occupant. It shows the base of the natural ramp which ascend from the bottom to top and the morning light upon the entire design.
EXP 2 Submission - 3 Quotes
THE THREE QUOTES
Nicole Kuepper -
“The amount of things that we take for granted in todays society that some people don’t have access to is mind boggling when you step back and think about it.”
Idea - We have to help those with problems and those who are less fortunate.
Charles Darwin -
"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."
Idea - Science holds the answers to our problems.
Stephen Hawking -
"I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet."
Idea - The entire human race is facing problems and science can solve them if we try.
Electroliquid Aggregation -
"The human race is mind boggling, there are too many things we take for granted. When you step back and think about it, the amount of accidents that can befall the next thousand years in society... People don't have access unless we spread into space, I don't think the human race will survive, ."
Keupper
Hawking
IDEA - There is a problem with the human race, we take life itself for granted when it is being threatened. The only way to survive is scientific in nature.
