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)
