The ramps to the meeting place

The ramp from Cousteau's laboratory to the centre. The ramp is covered with a mossy growth and with ponds containing aquatic life to complement Cousteau's background in biology.





The ramp from Nobel's laboratory to the centre. The ramp is influenced by Nobel's history working with dynamite and is enclosed and protected.

The meeting point

The meeting place was based on the below parallel projection:



Here is an external view of the meeting place:





The internal view:





The intimate interior with large windows is a combination of the atmospheres in both laboratories.

Lecture 7 - the thesis

This image reminds me of an animation cell or storyboard because of its numbering, the explosive marks and the narrative style drawing – a lot seems to be happening. It seems possible that this is a dynamic image because the thesis included in film stills, film strips and slides in sequence. This image was part of a series of related similar images. This illustration is a reminder that Unreal Tournament will be an animated and not a static work. It caused me to reflect on the interiors of the spaces and tone. The different levels of depth in this drawing are reminders that the space must be vibrant, interesting and multifaceted without too much distracting texture. The illustration reminds me specifically of a ridged walkway which links the ground level to an upper room. I will try to make this part of the model more exciting.

An Electroliquid Aggregation

Aggregation:
By inviting a wide range of scientists and a cross-fertilization of ideas they devoted time to improving the product. Thus the sales of marine field ecology findings rose dramatically and a still better product was introduced.

Original quotes (see previous post)

The parrallel projections

Here are the parallel projections of the 18 axonometric drawings.

The Unreal Tournament environments

Here are the screenshots from Unreal Tournament and the sketches from which the environments were designed.

The first axonometric drawing was based inside the cliff. This was Nobel's laboratory which has a dynamite testing space below, a meeting area in the middle and a lab upstairs.











The second drawing was built outside the cliff. This contains Cousteau's lab, a marine atrium and a meeting area.

The axonometric drawings

The following axonometric drawings are based on the quotes relating to Nobel and Cousteau. Nobel's drawings were inspired by explosion and protection, and Cousteau's drawings explored the coming together of different ideas and the different directions that this could take the discussion.

Nobel, Cousteau and Campbell

"... he devoted much time to improving his product. He conceived the idea of mixing it [nitroglycerine] with a porous clay known as kieselguhr. Thus was born dynamite, in 1867, with a far superior safety record: sales rose dramatically. A still better product, blasting gelatine, was introduced in 1875."



"By inviting a wide range of scientists - geologists, marine biologists, botanists, zoologists, archaeologists and biochemists - on board the Calypso, one might even venture that he invented marine field ecology, enabling a cross-fertilization of ideas, approaches and findings."



"Wilmut and Campbell would like to put us straight about why they cloned Dolly and what she means to the rest of us ... one of the interests of the Government-funded institute and its biotech partner PPL is in developing genetically-modified farm animals that can produce therapeutic human proteins, such as Factors VIII and IX for haemophilics, in their milk."
