Quote from client #3

Florence Nightingale
"Live your life while you have it. Life is a splendid gift. There is nothing small in it. For the greatest things grow by God's Law out of the smallest."

Quote from client #2

Stephen Hawking
"Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change."

"I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image."

Quote from client #1

Jane Goodall
"Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people
who are doing something you don't believe is right."

"I wanted to talk to the animals like Dr. Doolittle."

"Only if we understand can we care. Only if we care will we help.
Only if we help shall they be saved."

Development #2 - Upper Ground level

For the upper ground level, design has not changed much from the start,
as personally i find this design very unique and has ability to directly deliver the feeling of death to the people who "experience" the building.

The staircase in place in one of the biggest corn in the design.

Development #2 - Under Ground level



Below ground level has changed its shape a lot from the initial model,
as I tried to connect the facade of lower ground and upper level
and tried to make some sort of "flow" between the two gallery.

Some textures applied ; Smooth and Furry

Stair - level 1 to ground level

As you can see, some changes are made from the initial design of the stairs.
Due to the shape of the building, stairs could not be placed in circular form.
And on the top of that corkscrew staircase delivers the feeling of the "death" and "falling" more than just normal spiral staircase.

36 Textures

Above
As the theme of the upper gallery is "death",
hard and cold textures are chosen for the 1 level.


Ground

Ground level is more of a open space with free access to the public.
Therefore, textures that could represent nature such as organic has been chosen.


Below
The main theme of the under ground gallery is "curvy".
And as the chosen artwork represents "family" and "motherhood",
I tried to chose more soft and warm textures for under ground level.
