Random Reallllly Cool Warped Images



I love this last image in particular, It seems to be flying!! All the colours and forms merge and seem to also mimic a watercolour, and reflect the Darwin's concept of evolution ( appears to be in flux and constantly changing )

3D Model

Final Model - Nicole Kuepper's Lab





For Nicole Keupper's Lab, I simply created two platforms with a slit in the upper one. The purpose of the slit is to provide a single shadow running the full length of the main platform, defining the sun's rays and representing solar power. This lab faces the open sea and the sunset providing plenty of light. One main ramp allows access from the back to the major platform, which in turn connects to the rest of the structure and also provides access to the main meeting area out front and under the structure.

Final Model - Charles Darwin Lab








This is Charles Darwin's side the combined lab. I wanted to allow him the best possible view of the landscape having him face the rest of the islands and the beach. It is composed of three floors, the lower two which can be accessed form the landscape itself ( sloping towards the platforms) and the highest one...well lets say there can be an elevator in the central support lol ( I didn't want to ruin the simple aesthetics of the structure)

I wanted the whole structure as a whole to be nestled between two major mountains - expressing the goals of the two scientists and where their answers can be found; in the very environment they are surrounded with.

I also wanted to express 'fools' experiments' by hanging the structure from the one central platform - leaving it to float there in that small valley.
i balanced that with symmetry, expressing the pure deductive processes that science involves.

Final Watercolours From Project 1



These watercolours, stood out the most because of their complexity. They express multiple geometries and still manage to share the same space on the page, while always on the edge of collapse. I remembered the idea of an "electroliquid aggregation", and how we merged two quotes to form a uniform concept for out designs. these images merge every aspect of the project in one massive mush ( almost like a where's wally lol ) where there is always something new to look at.

They kinda told me not to worry when merging my quotes to form my aggregation fools experiments ( evolution ) with economical design ( solar cell research), yet pushed me to a slightly simpler more symmetrical layout, but still leading me to keep my layered geometry ( a simple remnant of the unbelievably layered watercolours.

Electroliquid Aggregation

In short - I am trying to save the world through fools experiments. I am always making them by using simple, inexpensive, and widely available equipment.
