Final Crysis Model


The Clients Laboratories are located quite close together, although they are all different people with different views and theories and from different times, there are ideas and concepts that link them together, as seen through the Electroliquid Aggregation quote. Nicole Kuepper’s Libratory is located on the top level, Stephen Hawking’s is located on the middle floor and Charles Darwin’s is located on the first floor. With the meeting area located underneath, on the ground floor.


The meeting area has been placed underneath the laboratories, where they can come and share ideas, thoughts and theories. When finished they reside to their own laboratories.



Nicole Kuepper’s Libratory is placed on the top floor and designed for her solar research, with views and big open spaces she can work and develop her ideas and theories. Her placement on the highest floor represents her place in time and her mindset to do the undone.


Stephen Hawking’s Labratory is located on the middle floor, where he has full access to the sky and stars. Here he can continue to research and expand his knowledge of the universe. His placement on the second floor represents his place in time and his hunger to overcome obstacles.


Charles Darwin’s Labratory is located on the first floor, which is the closest to the ground than the other laboratories, for his study of evolution and species. Here he can survey the land from a suitable location, surveying different animals and species of vegetation.


From the Black Box exercise, I have learnt to experiment with lighting and shadows to give more to the structure its cast by. The different light, medium and dark textures emphasise the contrast between areas and ideas of the clients.

36 Textures

Black Box - The Shaddow as Solid



This slide reinforces the concept of shadow becoming part of the solid its cast from. It has given me ideas on how to incorporate shadows in Crysis Sandbox to add to and complement the structure. The slide also shows how shadows can benefit a structure and a physical space. As in the slide, the objects are quite simple in terms of texture and shape, just like my axonometric designs. But as you can see, simple things can have striking impacts. I’m eager to apply shadows to my axonometric designs to achieve a spectacular structure and spaces within Crysis.

3 Parallel Projections



Combined axonometrics reduced to 9 intersecting rectangular prisims.
I have chosen to use the first design in Crysis.




Electroliquid Aggregation

The ability to adapt to change, it's just mind boggling when you step back and start to think about it. The fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment.
