Exp 2 Final Model ~ finally...

My final UT Environment for Darwin and Nightingale can be found here.
Some screenshots:
From meeting space looking up to Darwin's space
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).
Relation to electroliquid aggreggation of quote: The height and isolation of the workspace means that Darwin (scientific heart) must have 'very little wishes' and 'no fear' to work there.

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 spaceThe 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.
