Final Image Captures

The light shine into the space through the chapped ceiling, which resulted the cross light pattern appearing on the ground. The different materials and forms in the middle work with light effect together to structure the centralized space which represents the sense of Power and 'black hole' (which is not actually back, it is attractive, and seems like it is sucking all the space into the ceiling openning). The digged zonal roads follow the light direction and extended to the cliff. The angle of passageway fender caused the illusion, the ramp is actually horizontal.

The light travels through the column and shine upon the wall. The ‘light column’ contrast with physical column to express the idea of positive and negative, existence and inexistence.

The light digged band extended from Stephen Hawking’s working space into one of ramp alleyways. In this transition space, another passageway crossed through the space on the top right corner, without any hatches. People who want to enter into Hawking’s place have to pass through this additional transition space. The space increased the interests of spatial experience because people don’t know the ramp will lead them into where or what’s nearby.

The rotary bands lead people into Hawking’s space, they visually create the feeling of being sucked into the space.

This is the meeting space. Two entrances corresponding to each other. Once people walking out of the cave, they look back and see the giant door frame, the door represent the power, and the cascade frames provide visual sense of black hole and the suction. Walking into Florence’s place means the abandon of power and the beginning of the new journey of Asceticism (into a narrow and linear space).

The linear walkway directs people into another space, but the window and the gap stop the way and force people to turn around. This is about something visually procurable but actually unreachable.

This is a more darker and narrower space, the stairs are out of order.

An Open and brighter space with double high ceiling- the end of Asceticism

Overall, the form of Florence’s space looks like a linear space been tied into a knot. The transparency of glass is contrast to concrete’s solid texture.
