Final Presentation - section model 1:10 (20 x 40 x 40 cm)

Final Presentation - zooming into the details of the design. Several changes have been made on the ground floor to fit with the narrative. The new staircase may be seen as the pièce de résistance, reuniting display with construction.

1:10 section (200x400x400 mm)

On the right: axonometry

On the left: elevation and horizontal section.

The construction is a display element, which can be used as staircase. Between each shelf, a dynamic of wooden elements make the design playful in space and in construction.

Final presentation - « Standing on the shoulders of giants”. This exhibition represents the path of growth of microbiology and its development through Leeuwenhoek, Beijerinck and Iterson.

Zoningplan - dubbeldiagram, zoning plan, zoning-axo

This is the updated version of the zoning plan, based on the changes made within the design after the intermediate presentation

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?

How will you layer the information?
