Mash Up

Let's remember The Full Story of the Miranda Keller; like many great women her full story is getting lost.

She took over where most famous women in the world took a virtual "back seat" on the front row.

She lead the country after its reunification following the intense economic downturn in 2009. Keller sought to rebuild her standing by resisting overwhelming demands by her detractors to take swift action; and later emerged as a leading political ambassador in Europe.

Her biggest passion is to push through the measure and take over as an exclusive central figure among Europe's major powers.

But far too often we remember famous women for simply one thing. Not only is Keller a skilled politician; She was an early member of the American Civil Liberties Union and worked with seven U.S. presidents in a fight to improve conditions for people around the world.

Though she is one of the most famous women in the world; her essence is very happy and warm. Keller’s confidence is celebrated by her supporters and welcomed with intense public interest.

Keller is a person ahead of her time; a politician skilled in the art of the possible, who exercised patience to overcome difficult circumstances.

Experiment 3 Environment




Above are images of the crysis environment modelled based on the Tasmanian mountain range. The environment is in its preliminary development stage.


This is the Western Arthur Mountain Range in Tasmania. Was found in the home country of Miranda Kerr.

Final Crysis Model








This is the final model with the textures and lighting being placed. The over theme of the structure is one where the boundaries are being crossed. Gravity is being defied and additional to this the structure is on the side of the cliff to emphasis that as a race we are evolving rapidly and growing in numbers. For this reason space is becoming a very valued thing. In the future it might be possible to use space is this way where we are building ontop of and to the side of existing structures.

9 Prism Axonometric



The Structure has been placed on the side of a cliff. The bottom claw is crawling up the side of the cliff, working its way to the top. Just as those that evolve must climb to the top to survive. The finger elements also act at structural members placed into the cliff. On the top of the environment, hawking's lab sits. Access into the structure would be gained my elevator. The entire structure sits on the environment defying gravity, one of the very theories Hawking studied.

This particular axonometric was chosen to be developed for experiment 2. The top half is the Hawking Lab and the bottom Darwins lab. Darwin's lab (bottom) was created in this way to represent a claw. Speaks of how human evolution has changed from a very hands on approach; using ones abilities and intelligence, to what its is now a more technological way of living.
Hawkings lab (above) was built in this way to represent the his theories of a self consistantany. Where all the universal phenomena are link together. For this reason the rectangles are offset from each other at differing intervals however still remaining interlinked. There is no boundary within the allocation of shapes. The shapes balance of each other structurally in order to work as the universe does. With out a balance of all occuring forces the universe cannot survive.

Axonometrics










These are the axonometrics that i have created from 5 or more rectangular prisms. These shapes were created with Stephen Hawking and Charles Darwin in mind. The theories of gravitation, and quantum gravity in relation to formulating a self consistant theory and the theories of evolution played as inspiration for the shapes.
