Inspirations for EXP 2 final design

1. Dubai - Palm Island:


The main ideas that were stimulating in my mind during this assignment was "openness" and "interaction with nature". These concepts for me demonstrate the perspectives of the clients interaction and the ways in which to benefit them with their areas of life. The Dubai Palm trees for me symbolise the main areas in which architecture and engineering are using social and environmental metamorphosis to create areas that give society another aspect of living.

2. Slanted roof + axonometric aspects


This building can represent the aspects that I wanted to achieve in respect to Darwin's Laboratory on the top floor looking over the meeting area and nature. I wanted to captivate with the slanted glass roof the notion of modern architectural designs however also wanted to explore that Darwin shouldn't be confined in a glass rectangle box but to represent a different and unique shape as these aspects to be represented the concepts of Charles Darwin.
