Developed UT2004 Environment

Keith Campbell's space 'in front of the vertical surface'

Exterior of Keith Campbell's laboratory

The idea behind this building was to create symmetry within its components by replicating parts over and over, which was in direct reference to the concept of cloning.

Here you can also see one of Alfred Nobel's consealed rooms hidden behind the metal bars to the left.

Meeting Point interior

The idea behind this concept was to create a space where they could meet and discuss matters of human existence and ways to make it better. The structure of the space is based on the symbolic shape of a cross, with this representing life and health, and a place where they would both feel comfortable in discussing these issues.

I went about creating Nobel’s space with one thing in mind, his legacies, the Nobel Peace Prize and dynamite. I could not help but focus the structure of my design on the irony of these legacies. The quote I found by Nobel states the he invented dynamite to ‘abide the world by golden peace’, when in fact he started a new era in warfare. This ‘irony’ is incorporated into the layout of the different rooms, stairs, ramps and hallways, with them being the opposite too what is expected and therefore ironic.

Alfred Nobel was dubbed the “merchant of death”, and I believe he would have lived a very hidden life. This is evident in his legacy the ‘Nobel Peace Prize’, which he left behind, so that he would known for contributing some good to society, rather than creating a new and more efficient way to kill. This was incorporated into the concealed, closed design of his hallways and rooms. As in my eyes he would have been more comfortable in spaces such as these.
