FULLY_DEVELOPED_Crysis Wars Environment

The designed bridge incorporates three spaces, all within the bridge itself rather than being on the bridge. The architecture, rather than a simple bridge, or of an ‘empty space’ it became something more of a barrier such like a wall of the valley. The power to compare ‘new ideas’ such as the power of the mind is to respond to the choice of materials used and the interaction of the elements towards the environment; private entrance for clients on valley floor and a bridge above integrating into the environment.

Lifts are located on both sides of the bridge to separate the dominating trusses towards the bridge. Both lifts are designed differently to differentiate each client’s ‘sense’ of power.

By using the trusses as a grid, Miranda Kerr’s office spans on two levels with a set of stair case up to a mezzanine.
Helen Keller’s office space has features of partition walls for personal space, working space and the separation of the lift. Without these walls, the space would almost be of an ‘empty space’.

On the valley floor; a meeting space for Kerr and Keller to assemble for a working lunch. The grand and distinctive dining table not only symbolizes both client’s power but also the power to ‘unite’ them in understanding the variety of thoughts.
The diagonal members that are created by the trusses spaning along the entire bridge not only is a method of supporting but also to divide the spaces; location of walls or voids to additionally engage with the environment.

The idea of Power

The power of language; for most of the world develops its own particular means, so important, most powerful; the benefits of firsthand.
The process of intellectual development, the right thoughts is forcing human popularity, experience and economy in understanding the simple ideas. It is the power to repeat, compare and unite them. Popularity has proved itself the pleasure of new ideas.
Therefore, the power of the mind is so strong; the mind of an empty space, an empty blackboard in understanding the variety of thoughts. The most part welcomed is to be passionate, have sensations in order to have perceptions.
How the process of language actually works is only the possibility of receiving impressions, juggling them around, making commutations and permutations.
What comes to play is an empty space that receives all impressions.

Crysis Wars Environment

A perspective view of the nine prisms and the landform ramp being constructed meets at one point; the space under the lab.

Charles Darwins' lab

"The eureka moment of" discovering what textures could become to make the special effects to simple prisms.

Stephen Hawkings' lab

Simply "not everything is solved" by interconnecting the prisms with the addition of textures. The form of the entire design must follow a significant environment.

Perspective view from meeting space

The "intelligent life" creates a texture either being stretched or distorted to give a new effect. Simply looking; a brand new texture.

6 Sketch Axonometrics - 9 Prisms

A pair of completely different axonometrics combined. All prisms were exploded and fixed into appropriate positions to make up the spaces with nine prisms.

A duplicate of the same prisms placed on top of each other with one prism duducted to make up the nine.

A pair of different prisms combined and elevated to make up another set of nine prisms.

My thoughts

Figure 1: Void

Figure 2: External supports

Figure 1 forms a reflection of my design for clients Charles Darwin and Stephen Hawkings. The nine prisms are placed on either end of the structure while one laboratory is slightly elevated with a linkage of a glass floor keeping the original design of the prisms and to distinct the spaces from each other. The idea came from the glass void (Fig 1).

Rectangular columns would be used in such a way to support the laboratory being elevated while making space on the landform where clients could exchange their ideas. The columns do no stop at ceiling height or whatsoever but extends pass the building height. The columns not only being used as supports but also as sun shading devices. (Fig 2)

An "Electroliquid Aggregation" quote

The eureka moment of the development of intelligent life is more striking than the fact, that having great successes, not everything is solved.
