Final Submission
Hawking’s Lab
.
.
This lab space revolves around Hawking’s belief that a complete theory of the universe should be understandable to everyday people, not just scientists. The space contains five areas linked to each other by a common central area. Each section has a different shape, size, and colored lighting. This ensures that the experience Hawking has within each area is unique.
.
Since Hawking is unable to walk his entire lab space is on the same level encouraging him to move about as he works. His movement through the different areas will mean he has a constantly changing working environment that will generate a dynamic thinking process. In turn, this should prevent Hawking becoming too attached to a single perspective and encourage him to continually reinterpret problems.
.
Hawking’s Ramp
.
.
The ramp that takes Hawking from his lab into the meeting area is inspired by his work with wormholes. Wormholes link two parallel universes. The ramp links Hawking’s lab with the meeting spot using a series of repeated squares each rotated progressively. The idea is that the square rotates 90 degrees as one moves along the ramp, this is loosely based on Hawking’s proposition (in relation to wormholes) that an imaginary time exists at right angles to ordinary time.
.
Goodall’s Lab
.
.
Goodall’s two labs are based on her quote regarding the different ways of looking out and understanding the world.
.
.
The first lab’s form is based on her belief that dialogue is necessary between two groups in order to produce change. However, the most important aspect of the first lab is its single large window that looks out in three of the four directions. The window would provide Goodall with endless fascination and enjoyment. It is also positioned such that she always will walk past it while moving around her labs, forcing her to engage with it to some degree.
.
.
Goodall’s second lab has a much lower ceiling and a more enclosed nature. The windows in this lab are smaller and therefore have a smaller field of view. However, the windows in this lab reveal almost everything that the window in the first did as well as what the first didn’t reveal. Unlike the first lab, the windows here are not central to the space, meaning Goodall would only engage with them when she wanted to. This lab also has windows that not only look out but look back at the exterior of the first lab.
.
In terms of Goodall’s research, the two labs allow her to understand that different viewpoints exist and encourage her to use different viewpoints on an issue to understand it further. Her work using information gathered on chimpanzee’s to help understand humans is an example of what she could achieve in this space.

"Thinking back over my life, it seems to me that there are different ways of looking out and trying to understand the world around us. There's a very clear scientific window. And it does enable us to understand an awful lot about what's out there. There's another window, it's the window through which the wise men, the holy men, the masters, of the different and great religions look as they try to understand the meaning in the world. My own preference is the window of the mystic."

"If we do discover a complete [unified] theory [of the universe], it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and ordinary people, be able to take part in the the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we should know the mind of God."
- Stephen Hawking

“There are different ways of looking at the universe, the scientific perspective, mystic perspective, philosophical perspective… Only by collaboration and discussion between all perspectives can we reach a truly unified theory of the universe.”
.
The meeting place for Hawking and Goodall is relatively simple. It combines both of their ways of thinking into one space. Goodall’s outdoor nature and Hawking’s comparatively indoor nature are represented by the equal share of the space within the cliff and outside it. Together they can share information comfortably without straying to far from their lab environment.
