EXP2-EDGE-Developed UT Environment

Introduction to the two spaces - Stephen Hawking (Prism 9) and Florence Nightingale (Prism 11) - textures indicate differentiation of spaces. The main ramp defies all principles of form and function regularity, as it twists from Prism 9 to the top level of Prism 11, and combines the two spaces with a medium meeting space - displayed by the dark custom texture which may intrigue...


Begin at the boundary, just facing out of Prism 9 space...yet ... is there a boundary? -asks the viewer. A boundary as a threshold of spaces and planes? A universe with seemingly no real condition...


stair to allow access to Prism 11 space for Florence Nightingale. In the background a two-runner, secondary ramp is seen to engage with the upper level space...







Standing on the landing of the secondary ramp, looking upwards - a small-appearing opening is noticed up ahead - this opening leads to the upper level of Prism 11 space, we ascend ...




Now in the upper level space of Prism 11, reveals another angle perception of the distinct space - custom textures. The main ramp is now mostly visible on the right of our line of site.

Stepping onto this ramp, walking down a little way, a small staircase introduces the meeting platform. The little stair itself being an almost insignificant element of transportation downwards, perhaps creating a sense of uncertainty on approach ...



Walking up the last of the main meeting ramp, from this perspective, a glimpse of the spaces beyond into Stephen Hawkings' (Prism 11) space...

Entering Prism 11, turning and stepping onto the second secondary ramp, greeted by the introduction screen once again (screen grab two above). We see that the ramp leads back down to Florence Nightingale's Prism 9 space - and the circulation begins again.

Circulation - appearing to create a universe in its own; Boundary, yet no boundary. Ramps, especially main ramp, defy all odds to achieve an ultimate potential. Projecting spaces without fear, anticipation present in the feeling.
