Second Draft







1: A view of Nightingale's laboratory space.
2: Detail of the ramp descending from Nightingale's space to the client meeting space.
3: A view of the slope inclining from the client meeting space up to Darwin's laboratory space.
4: A view of the ramp leading up to Darwin's space.
5: A view of Darwin's laboratory space.

My design of Nightingale's space was informed by hospital aesthetics: clinical, austere and legible. I wanted Darwin's space to be stimulating in its admittance and use of light, in its shape and scale and to have a composition that gradually revealed the space and gave it a sense of vast openness. I also included an opening in the cliff face that has an aspect looking over Nightingale's space, asserting the design's primary intention of encouraging collaboration and discourse between the spaces.
