My combined axonometrics evolving in UT2004

Outside element: this section is for the client "Jane Goodall". The concept behind this section so far is that it is meant to portray Jane Goodall's notion that apes are like people and so should be treated as such. Of course I have taken this notion and put a twist on it. I have reinterpreted it so as to represent how we all have needs and in an apes point of view the need would be for room to move and have an environment in which he/she would be able to climb and explore from all point s of view. This is keeping in mind Jane's idea that both apes and human should be treated equal - because it is just like they say in the Internet adds on tv "if we didn't seek, we wouldn't find" (hence the notion of human exploration and the link of ape exploration is shown).

Inside element: this section is for the client "Florence Nigthingale". The concept behind this section so far is that it is meant to portray a key section from a quote by her which reads "actions which bring results". The way in which this concept is being captured into this piece of architecture is that I have utilised the space in order to form a union between cleanliness and pure obsessiveness. The inside space is designed so that the results from the observer walking around the space will be purely depended on how much exploration they do and to what level of exploration is undertaken will depend on how much they become linked into with the space. This is also being emphasised through the use of very minimalistic and dark but rich lighting, this making the space not become visible to the viewer at first glance.

Meeting space (on the wall): this section was based around the idea that a union is to be made between the two in order to preserve an independent reality. My meeting space (which is still undergoing further development) is based on the concept put forward by Carl Gustav Jung, this being that " The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are transformed".
And remember just like mentioned in the famous words of the spice girls a meeting place is an area " WHEN TWO BECOME ONE."

Very nice Chris, It's great to see your developing scheme!

Also some very nice Axonometrics!

We can discuss this deeper in studio.
