space between - final 3d model images

Assignment concept: Create an architecture consisting of 3 spaces. Two spaces (client' laboratories) at the end of each structure consisting of 9 interconnected prisms. The third space on the integrated landform where the scientists meet and exchange ideas.

The two rectangular prisms used that were combined together, each object consisting of 5 rectangular prisms (both positive and negative).

The resulting object that was formed from the two inteconnecting objects with a total of 9 prisms. The actual structure used in crysis was slightly different to the planned drawing. The structure on the right was flipped 90 degrees so that it would maximise the orientation of the sun and it's position on the landform.

The three textures that were used in the scheme

Light: Used to contrast the dark colours for Stephen Hawking's lab which help symbolize the ideas of black holes.

Medium: Used in the interconnecting structure between the two labs to symbolising the fusion of the two contrasting scientists' ideas.

Dark: Used to highlight the white colours used for Charles Darwin's labs. White to symbolize progression forward, evolution.
The same materials were also distorted on the other surfaces of the structure to help with the idea of destruction and extinction.

The Final 5 Crysis Images

Aerial view: Charles Darwin’s lab is of the left, with Stephen Hawking's lab on the right. The two ramps leading down towards the third space defined by the rectangular shadow.

Comment: Using a volcano as a setting for the laboratories that house Stephen Hawking and Charles Darwin, its speaks as a metaphor for the black hole that will cause destruction and extinction to the less improved and intermediate forms represented by the vegetation inside the crater.

View from the third space: The meeting point

Comment: The meeting point is marked in the evening sunset by the light casting a rectangular shadow from the structure onto the opposite wall of the crater with the rectangular shadow symbolizing the black hole (as seen in the first image)

Night view: Light enhanced environment

Comment: The dividing fissure alludes to Darwin’s idea of divergence of natural character as a result of natural selection, with the red glow coming through highlighting possible destruction and extinction that black holes can cause.
