Developed Model Landform in Crysis

Deciding on the surrounding landform of the structure, taking into consideration of my client's, Nicole Kuepper and Charles Darwin, I have modelled the structure to be located on a remote island that was in direct contact to nature. I felt it was important to have the labs situated in locations that would relate to their research since both clients did research closely to nature and it's inhabitants.

Nicole Kuepper's lab is located at the top of the structure giving it the most exposure to the sky and sunlight. Since Kuepper's research involved using solar cell technology, I felt that this was appropriate for the location of the lab.

I chose to model Darwin's lab underwater beneath the ocean because it puts his research in direct contact with species found underwater. As Darwin's theory of evolution suggests that millions of species have evolved over billions of years to what we know today. Some of which, have been suggested to have formed beneath the ocean.

Having the structure located near plenty of vegetation and plants help Darwin's research of different breeds and the evolution of species. While in direct sunlight, this also helps Nicole Kuepper's research on solar cell technology and the effects on the natural climate.

By having the clients meet in the space lit between the support structure and the labs, it's in a position just above ground with sunlight exposure and an overview of the ocean. This provides an area where the scientists can discuss their ideas and share each others thoughts with the help of their surroundings.
