Above View and Five Significant Shots Of My Final Unreal Environment.

Above view of Environment

The meeting place contains an atmosphere a lot different to that of the laboratories. The meeting place contains a significantly larger amount of mental and physical ‘clutter' representing two sets of thoughts coming together. The rectangular columns symbolise the physical and mental differences between both clients.The dark and mysterious atmosphere resembles the uncertain and unpredictable ideas and inventions both client’s could possibly create whilst together in this one location.

The Laboratory I have designed for Alfred Nobel directly relates to my client and his quote, “Home is where I work and I work everywhere.” Once you enter the laboratory, you are faced with a simple workspace which has a few features resembling a home environment and several structures directly relating to Nobel’s previous occupation as an iron and steel mill. These features allow Nobel to feel ‘at home’ when working within his laboratory.

Alfred Nobel’s ramp consists of both indoor and outdoor sections. Once the ramp cuts through the wall and enters the exterior, the ramp is no longer surrounded by walls, but instead by steel panel frames which represent Alfred Nobel’s past as a steel and metal mill. Alfred Nobel has undertaken intense studies of Dynamite and other explosive materials (represented in my environment through the use of 'explosive' colours) and to symbolise this considerable academic achievement and authority over others, I designed the ramp so that it slopes vertically and places Nobel’s laboratory quite high in the sky. To Further represent Nobel's personality and intensive study of explosive materials within the ramp, I used angled panels on either side of the ramp (as seen in the image above) with an intention to make the ramp look as though it has exploded from the wall and been patched up since with these panels.

My intention was to create a dynamic work space similar to Cousteau’s study of the diverse life of the underwater world. The transparent wall symbolises the obstacle and rewards of overcoming change which Cousteau explores in his quote. The Thin windows allow a lot of natural light to enter the laboratory and subsequently, an economical workspace which would appeal to Cousteau and support his strong view of earth as a fragile and limited space that needs to be preserved, is created. The upstairs space will allow Cousteau to continue his work freely and provide him with inspiration and comfort as the natural surroundings are visible.

I designed this ramp with an intention to address not only my client’s requirements in a practical and functional manner, but also my client’s quote. Jacques-Yves Cousteau is an elderly man and therefore requires a ramp which is easily accessible and easy to utilize. The style and physical features of the ramp such as the consecutive poles, were influenced by Cousteau’s exciting and diverse lifestyle and his main interests including film making and the underwater world. Cousteau The ramp will allow the movement and transporting of his film making equipment to be practical and efficient.

Three Textures To Be Used Within My Environment.

Light to Dark Textures.

Each of my 36 textures explores shadows and shades transitioning from light to dark. Each of the textures are sets of individual lines and/or shapes which are connected and work together in a way to form a successful and effective ‘texture.’ This notion of unity and collaboration directly relates to both clients’ quotes where each examines themes of connection, unity and cooperation.

Reflection on The Black Box.

Whilst looking through The Black Box slides I was surprised once I noticed the large resemblance the following image had to my design for my client's meeting place. The Rectangular prisms seen in this image are similar to the numerous rectangular columns I have present within my design. The dark, blue lighting evident in the image also resembles the lighting I have used in my environment.

The lighting in both the image below and in my environment creates a mysterious and uncertain atmosphere which links to my initial impressions of my clients. At first I found my two clients and their professions very interesting but mysterious. The atmosphere created in my meeting place symbolises these views of my clients and their work.

The Clients, Their Quotes and Electroliquid Aggregation.

Alfred Nobel:

Alfred Nobel was Born in Stockholm on the 21st October 1833. When Alfred was 18, he went to the United States to study chemistry for four years. Alfred, returned to Sweden with his father after the bankruptcy of their family business and then committed himself to the study of explosives. This study was based especially on the safe manufacture and use of nitroglycerin.

Nobel later on united nitroglycerin with another explosive, gun-cotton, and created a transparent, jelly-like substance. This 'Gelignite', or blasting gelatin substance was a more powerful explosive than dynamite.

The creation of ‘gelignite’ and the qualities of this jelly- like substance significantly relate to Alfred Nobel’s quote I selected to use; “Home is where I work and I work everywhere." This quote communicates ideas of freedom, adaptability and flexibility, similar to the Gelignite and its features and traits. This quote expresses Nobel’s system of thinking in regards to his work and suggests that his lifestyle and work style are similar to his creations; boundless, malleable and uncontrolled.

Jacques-Yves Cousteau:

Jacques-Yves Cousteau, born the 11th June 1910 was a a French naval officer, explorer, ecologist, filmmaker, innovator, scientist, photographer, author and researcher who studied the sea and all forms of life in water. Cousteau liked to call himself an "oceanographic technician" and was a significant admirer of nature. His work allowed many people to finally explore the forms of life present within the ocean.

Cousteau's love for the ocean and it's marine life is present in his quote; "It takes generosity to discover the whole through others. If you realize you are only a violin, you can open yourself up to the world by playing your role in the concert." Cousteau had a passion for nature and the systems within nature which are linked to other systems such as living organisms.

This quote explores numerous ideas, including equality, relationship, the affect one has on another, collaboration, cooperation and the role individuals play in a larger group.

"It takes generosity to discover the whole home through others. If you work, you are only a violin, you can work yourself up to the world by playing your role everywhere in the concert."

Nine Axonometrics: Jacques-Yves Cousteau.

The following nine axonometrics explore the relationship between three rectangular prisms and are based on the quote by Jacques-Yves Cousteau; "It takes generosity to discover the whole through others. If you realize you are only a violin, you can open yourself up to the world by playing your role in the concert."

The main ideas I derived from this quote were: equality, relationship, the affect one has on another, collaboration, cooperation and the role individuals play in a larger group.

When drawing these nine axonometrics, my aim was to explore and demonstrate most of the ideas I had gained from the quote within the positioning of each rectangular prism in relation to each other.

The following nine axonometric drawings are all indicative and representative of the ideas and themes I obtained from the quote; equality, relationship, the affect one has on another, collaboration, cooperation and the role individuals play in a larger group.
