ARCH1102 Week 8 (THE EDGE)

Charles Darwin: " I love fool's experiments. I'm always making them."

Stephen Hawking:" I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, & that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road."

Revised version of 'Electroliquid aggregation':
People can make choices in their lives even when everything seems predestined: one just have to be brave enough to explore new things, although it might appear foolish to others.

Enclosed Ramp:

  • a link to Darwin & Hawking's spaces
  • a discussion space for exchange of theories
  • indicates openness to accept other's views



Interlocking Rectangular Spaces:

The interior mini galaxy is cool and quite significantly related to Stephen Hawking's theories.However, it does cause me some headache because the space is quite confusing and dark. I couldn't see which way am I walking and i couldn't really see the space inside. But the light effect and the moving stars effects are great.Im wondering how you did that. Anyway, great job and well done.
