Electroliquid Aggregation

Model-Close

Screen shot from the flash video Model-Close.swf

I chose this design above because it reflects majorly on the work I have created so far. It shows subtracting from an object and adding on top of an object. From looking at my screen shots of my unreal model below, you can see how I have used that same technique as the students work from above.

The idea of working on designs and using the technique of adding and subtracting works astonishingly. There is no limitation when it comes to working with this technique. I have repeatedly used this in my model to show a few different concepts.

The first concept was based on Alfred Nolbel’s lab. It was to show two spaces, one space having a negative and the other having a positive. So technically one object split into two showing off the adding and subtract technique. Another area where I used this was in the meeting space. With both scientists coming from two different heights, I wanted them to be on the same level. I added one square block on the floor than added another to achieve this. Both take two steps up onto the same level where ideas can be exchanged.

Update on Unreal Model 2

Keith Campbell's Lab

The repeated columns and beams represents cloning in relation to Campbell's work.

Meeting Space
Ideas will be flowing around this space, so ideally I have added a high ceiling with a skylight to hopefully help with productivity between both scientists.
