Final Submission EXP2.

My laboratories for both Alfred Nobel and Jacques-Yves Cousteau were inspired from quotes that dealt with in my mind the search for normal space. This concept has influenced my work in both the laboratories but in the meeting space. The meeting space is what you would consider a normal room, however, this is because this is the space that Nobel and Cousteau have been searching for. In Cousteau's case the laboratory space is not normal. The waterwall is to create the atmosphere of a tank or marine land and ramp beside it descends into a space with no consistency in its walls. Ascending back up into the meeting space Cousteau is being 'set free' from the marine land into normality. In Nobel's case the laboratory space is golden as knowledge is gold. Here the walls are only two colours to contrast against each other for similarites and differences. Using the ramp to get to the meeting space Nobel would notice the differences between the strength and power of the spaces compared to the delicateness of the ramp, and the difference between the spaces being inside and the ramp being outside. He would search for similarities in the normality of the meeting space. Together they both signify the normality of the search for human knowledge.

Meeting Space- Alfred Nobel And Jacques-Yves Cousteau






The meeting space if you are entering from Cousteau's laboratory and heading out towards Alfred Nobel's lab.






This is the meeting space if you are entering it from Alfred Nobel's lab and heading in towards Costeau's lab.







This is an overall view of the meeting space and it's connection the Cousteau's laboratory.






Jacques-Yves Cousteau Laboratory






Ascending down the ramp into Cousteau's laboratory next to a wall of water and heading towards the laboratory space.






A close-up showing the wall of water and the wall that features an interesting concept of what would be considered a normal wall. It both protudes out and continues inwards creating the question where is the wall actually placed.






I chose to place my medium texture here as it seems to draw in eye inwards. I thought that fit nicely in with this area as the surrounding blocks are placed to question the placement of the wall. It is searching for the similarities and differences in both inside and outside space.



Corridor- Second Meeting Space




My light texture has been applied to the floor of the second meeting place as it helps draw the eye towards the magnificently tall opening in the cliff face that is so powerful and creates the feeling of infinite spacious space which stirs an inferior feeling.





Alfred Nobel Laboratory




The corridor heading into Nobel's laboratory from inside the cliff face. Again it creates the feeling drawing in for the search of space.























Outside Images




Outside looking into Alfred Nobel's laboratory.











Overall view of ramp and Nobel laboratory and meeting spaces.







Delicate Ramp going from Nobel lab to meeting space.







Looking back from ramp into meeting space onto
Nobel's laboratory. Note that I have used my dark texture on both Nobel's lab and the outside of the meeting place to link together and make them similar yet different.
