Darwin's ramp is very simple and plain, and a more "techy" texture has been applied to it to reflect his quote that a scientific man "ought to have no wishes, no affections". His workspace consists of a personal library (left in screenshot), and a large, open platform for him to grow plants and investigate nature (right in screenshot).Darwin's space, seen from his "plant platform"
This screenshot shows the lightness of structure of Darwin's space, as well the lack of decoration and ornamentation in the space. This reflects Darwin's original quote, suggesting "no wishes, no affections - a mere heart of stone"Relation to electroliquid aggreggation of quote: Again, the screenshot shows that a scientific heart should have 'very little wishes' and 'no fear'.
Looking at Nightingale's space from her ramp
Shadows and mysterious spaces combine to make Nightingale's space a 'scary' place, providing the environment for her to come up with her quote: "how very little can be done under the spirit of fear." Straight ahead is her main workspace, with a table, and to the right is her library (bookshelf).Relation to electroliquid aggreggation of quote: Nightingale's scientific heart must have no fear of the spirits lurking in the shadows.
Nightingales space from her library
A playful texture in the library is supposed to create some relief, so the contrast between a fearful and unburdened mind can be felt by Nightingale. Main workspace is up the mini-ramp, the large ramp is to the left. Platforms with minimal railing creates a precarious situation and reinforces a spirit of fear. (Also relates to electroliquid aggreggation of quote in the same way)Start of Nightingale's ramp
The entrance is to the right, and continuing down the path to the left will eventually lead to Nightingale's space.
From Darwin's ramp looking at the meeting space
The meeting space brings the laboratories of the two scientists together. The entrance to Nightingale's space is to the left, so the two meets in the bright, central space.
View from inside the meeting space
The meeting space aims to provide an inspirational and relaxing enironment for Darwin and Nightingale to discuss their work. The bright tiles aim to provide a calming atmosphere and to enhance the openess of the space. Columns regulate sunlight and also provide a sense of protection and safety while still allowing a sense of being outside, on the edge of a cliff.

The image captures of the architecture show that Kai Ming has put thought into proportion and texruing as it is a very 'believable' space. textures and forms work together to communicate the ideas in the quotes.
The ramps create a distinctive way of slowly but surely bringing the clients together.
The clients spaces are distinctive and she has used lighting well to communicate which areas are 'in' and which are 'out'.
