The research process is based on a core of knowledge and information and then isextended to experimentation. Likewise, my building is based on a core space from which a variety of lab and office spaces extend. As experimentation continues, outside influences alter and transform the direction of the experimentation. In this manner, historical, environmental, and pragmatical issues influenced the design as it rose from its rigid base. The driving force, however, is creativity which seems to overtake the interior spaces, and transform some of the original elements.
Creativity ultimately inspires the researcher.
As experimentation continues, discoveries and information are revealed. In this manner, the structure is revealed slowley and eventually at the core, culminates in the steel spires. These spires represent the culmination of research, as well as its continuation. I wanted to convey te notion that the building is still being built, in the same manner that research always continues. Thus, the spires have cables which support the solid piee above the core, and in a sense are still pulling the piece out of the building.
