5 Images of the Crysis Wars Environment

Electroliquid Aggregation (Darwin & Hawking):

"One general law, leading to the advancement of the human race, namely, let the strongest live and the weakest die when accidents befall our planet and we spread into space, reaching out to the stars."

Overview of Environment:


Ramp:
This ramp is a culmination of the three key concepts explored in the electroliquid aggregation, strength, extension into space and human capability. These of which are directly represented through the dual ascending nature of the ramp as well as its unnatural but powerful form.

Charles Darwin's Laboratory:
Darwin's laboratory is fundamentally based upon the concept "let the strongest live and the weakest die when accidents befall our planet." This is portrayed through the structure of the component, consisting of a solid and very secure element as well as a long and fragile extension susceptible to the dangers of the sea.

Stephen Hawking's Laboratory:
Hawking's elevated lab exemplifies the idea of "reaching out to the stars" through its setting upon a hill top and the use of a tall vertical prism extending upwards into the sky. The boolean form passing through the two prisms within this upper structure works to much the same effect, acting as a negative vector towards the stars. This also creates a large opening in the uppermost prism, emhasising Hawking's belief in our growing relationship with "the stars."

    get ready for your harsh harsh critique muahaha

    PROS: i like how you carefully deconstructed each scientists' quote and tried to portray it in the size and thicknesses of the structure, how each block had a purpose.

    CONS: could have thought more on the meeting place on the landform

    overall, quite a rad model :D
