Week 7 Studio Experiment 2

Final UT Design

Outer design gives sense of variation, ease for adaptation, as the overall design is some-what symmetrical, as well as facilitating various modes movement, ramps, stairs etc.

The designs suscetiblity to change is further complimented by the three different entry points to the inner space, as well as the different methods of reaching them, eg. ramps, jumping off ledges.

Inner space displays room for observation, from a high vantage point, the tower on the far corner.

Allows speculation to the size and proportion of the space.

As well as, the depth of the space, especially in proportion to the different levels of the space.

While below, away from the vantage point, speculation is distorted and void, thus no real observation can be finalised.

'Intelligence is the ability to, speculate and observe, adapting to change if need be'
-Derek Wong

'Without speculation there is no good and original observation'
-Charles Darwin

'Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change'
-Stephen Hawking

Week 6 Studio Experiment 2

Draft UT Environment

Outside: Hawking's quote on intelligence as adapting to change, thus a symmetrically shaped platform is designed.

Inside: Darwin's quote on seculation and observation inspires the space to have an elevated platform loking over a secondary space and finally the ground floor.
