Scene from elevator.




These two still images have been taken when the elevator was at the very top of the building, and when the elevator was near the most bottom of the building. The two still images showing the view from different locations of the building from the elevator shows, that the landscape is not viewable from the very top of the elevator, however is viewable from the bottom of the building towards the top of the building.

Mash up

Blue - Miranda Kerr

Black - Helen Keller

Red - Angela Markel

Psychology professors and new-age quacks are the usual authors of self-help books. This tradition was recently broken by Australia's clotheshorse and national productivity killer Miranda Kerr

Kerr explains her book to Elle Magazine, saying, "It's about encouraging young women to embrace their individuality. You may think it's easy for me to say, but we all have insecurities. It's important, as women, to get past all of that and let our talents shine."

Her story never left me because it is not just an account of how to cope with whatever challenges life gives someone, but the quintessential example of how to succeed in life despite them. It is an excellent testimony of the heights a good dedicated teacher can help and guide a student to achieve.

Merkel stressed that aid decisions will need unanimous approval from all involved and that, where credit is from other governments instead of a common European pot of money, "we decide ourselves on every use of the funds."

"It is the task of politicians, parliaments and governments to intervene, to regulate, in case of doubt to ban in order to keep the risks controllable."

Merkel renewed a pledge to push for taxation of financial markets — either a financial transaction tax or another form of levy — in Europe and beyond. She also pushed for quick action to put ratings agencies under European supervision and increase transparency on derivatives markets.

Shot of Lab1 with ramp(Nighttime)

Shot of Lab2 with ramp(Daytime)

Long shot of the building/environment(Daytime)
This shot evokes the improvisation and collaboration
between the two elements, the building and the
environment, and how it relates to each other. The building
which is constructed of rectangular prism of different sizes, is conveyed through
the environment which is dug from numerous rectangular prism,
also consisting of different sizes.


This particular shot of the building, shows the environment which the building is located in. It shows the two ramps, which both leads to a meeting place.
This shot also evokes the similarities between the shape of the building and the
landscape of the environment.

Shot from the meeting place to the building
This shot accentuates of the design of the building,
which consists of nine rectangular prisms, each different sizes between each other.


The building and the environment i have developed, also links to my Electroliquid aggregation, which was,
"Although we are just an advanced breed of monkeys, we are able to understand the universe through collaboration and improvisation, which makes us something special and is the reason we prevail."
This statement is conveyed through these images, as the building is placed in the environment specifically, as the shape of the building is related to the shape of the environment, in which i have tried to convey, which evokes the word of 'improvisation', in which accentuates that the landscape of the environment has influenced the design and shape of my building.

Black box reflection

This photograph consists of 6 books in a box, which is specifically carved out for each of the books.
This is expressed in the quote,
"In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed." - Charles Darwin
This quote accentuates the photograph, as the box is improvised to fit accordingly the books.
This photograph also directly relates to my Experiment 2, between my building and my environment, as the 'box' being the environment would be designed specifically to 'fit' my 'books' being the building. The environment would somewhat correspond to the design of my building, in that, the environment would resemble my building and vice-versa.
