This selection was supposed to be a combination of different shapes from the first set, but I also wanted to find an ordering mechanism to give some consistency through the whole design, and by playing with positive and negative space to create the meeting space between the two labs. The final sketch is a square on the plane that has been extruded around the two ramps to order the three spaces. I imagined where Cousteau would be working if he was still alive and after viewing a documentry about the antarctic and it's exploration and reading about Campbell's cryogenic work I decided that the plane could be the face of a glacier of ice shelf with Campbell's 'rat lab' on the interior and Cousteau's film studio on the exterior. I want to take some design cues from ice for the meeting space, and it will also inform the textures used.
