Axonometry & Cross-Sections - following the feedback of the intermediate presentation, each laboratorium has been elevated to create a 'natural' separation. The elevations are also higher than the previous design, avoiding the first impression of 'science on an altar', which could merge religion and science on a dangerous level. Now, it metaphors 'standing on the shoulders of giants' which is more appropriate for this exhibition.

The following steps are:

finding a way to merge the stairs with the design, all the while keeping the construction as light as possible to keep the attention onto the artefacts and exhibition

finding a way to make this space safe as one elevated laboratorium in on a height of 2,5meters and the other on 3,5m.

designing each laboratorium to fit within the time of their linked pioneer (van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723); Beijerinck (1851-1931); van Iterson (1877-1951))

designing the 'analytic' part of the botanical garden, avoiding any link to romanticism and giving the impression of a real laboratorium

designing/think about the remaining space above the last floor as there remains almost 10 meters; ignore it? Use it? Hide it?

Feedback second tutoring:

The furniture does not necessarily need to be from the time period, use of materials can achieve this impression; which materials are you intending to use?

Make a visualisation of the artefacts shown within the exposition and how you want to exhibit them

How will the construction look like?
