The architecture presented is designed for the two scientists, Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Keith Campbell, around their ideas about captivity and cloning, respectively. Cousteau’s laboratory is located on the exterior of the cliff, whilst Campbell’s is inside.
Cousteau’s laboratory relates directly to his thoughts on the captivity of marine life, that no dolphin in an aquarium is the same as in the ocean. Hence the space I have created for him is respective of a closed space that has been exploded apart, such as to release the dolphin back into the wild.
Campbell’s laboratory relates to his ideas on cloning and science, how through cloning he will be able people in the future. So for him I have created a space that focuses on an inversely symmetrical sculpture. A ramp circulates around and through this sculpture, signifying his desire to get to and understand cloning, and therefore be able to help people.
Campbell’s laboratory is located inside the space created by Cousteau’s, relating them in an electro-liquid aggregation, Campbell’s sculpture is the Dolphin in Cousteau’s Aquarium, and through cloning it may be able to be set free and released back into the wild.
