Black Box reflection

Final Drawing 2, Project 1, Watercolour

This watercolour shows how the contrast between different shapes and shades create unique spaces. The dark shaded areas of the work clearly stand out from the light areas, creating a sense of depth in the two-dimensional work. This is similar to the way in which light would penetrate my design, to create a distinct light area and a dark area which reflects the ideas of the inhabitants. 

Darwin's space, which is largely open to its surroundings, provides the inhabitant with an almost uninterrupted view of its surrounds and allows much light to penetrate. This reflects Darwin's desire to make observations of that which surrounds him. 

Hawking's space, on the other hand is largely closed to its surroundings and allows little light to penetrate the halls which make up the work space. This reflects the ideas of Hawking, which are largely theoretical conclusions to unobservable phenomena, thus requiring much concentration with little outside distraction.

YouTube video relating to stairs in my scheme

This is the staircase in the Apple store in 5th Ave., NY. This spiral staircase is similar to the staircase in my scheme which connects the gallery space to the upper, Piccinini studio. In this case, an elevator is housed within the spiral staircase, whereas in my scheme the staircase would house the works of both artists.
