The chosen environment with drafts of crysis environment: DEATH VALLEY- THE LAND OF EXTREMES
Death Valley seems a very fitting destination for the offices of both Lady Gaga, and Jonathan Ive, and is located North East of California. I chose Death Valley, because it is the polar opposite of "Las Angeles" which literally means the land of the Angels. Death Valley is both vast and deserted, representing the millions of people that move to LA to seek fame and fortune, only to end up unnoticed. It is only very few (like GAGA and Ive) who actually seek fame and fortune in "the land of the angels". Death Valley is where everyone else ends up. Death Valley is literally a graveyard of hopes and dreams.

Gaga’s uniquely obsessed fans make the thinnest computing devices in the world, in an institution known for turning out self-possessed young ladies who speak perfect French and have vocabularies. Influence is the union of power and purpose. As a TV star, magazine founder, businesswoman and celebrity, Oprah Winfrey certainly has power, which is worth hundreds of millions of pounds to the company, which is itself currently valued at a staggering £200 billion.
Switching back and forth between “lady” and “gaga”, Opera’s moral responsibility is to help others who have the desire to succeed but just need an opportunity. The last decade has belonged to Ive, revolutionizing everything like the long-lost art of making an entrance, which Gaga seems to have single-handedly revived.
The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls will educate a new generation of women leaders, and Bride of Frankenstein’s, who propelled Ive to leave for the U.S. in the first place and deny Britain the talents of one of the most influential designers of the modern age, not what her millions of adoring fans would expect.
Oprah is an inspiration, but in the overarching objective of her life, she is really only at mile two in. Ive is renowned for having an ‘alchemical’ sense for engineering, and the limits of that we all face, has transformed for the express purpose of being belted—roared—in front of 20,000 people on an extravagant stage. What might Apple do to stop Ive? He has, actually and metaphorically, a place in the sun that conveys a moral character and a source of strength for millions of her admirers and a stranger cult following.

Continuation of electroliquid aggregation
I decided that Maria Agnesi's section of the lab needed to comply more closely with complex geometric structures. In actualising this, i decided to incorporate a frame around her section of the building, a geometric structure that nurtures the other structures within it, resulting in a form that challenges the boundaries of mathematical formulas.

modified sketchup model/draft crysis model
My new electroliquid aggregation combines Freud's hypothesis that it is the connection and fluidity of the natural and the built environment that effects the human condition, combined with Maria Agnesi's hypothetical desire to inhabit a structure that incorporates complex geometric structures developed from mathematical solutions.

Crysis Draft 2
After experimenting with my first crysis draft, i have decided to rethink the design of my building, and in doing so i have experimented with more shapes and a different set of clients. This has led me to formulate a new Electroliquid aggregation where i have made alterations to my original draft. I have documented this process.

1st crysis draft / Electroliquid Aggregation
definition of Electroliquid Aggregation:
“Why still speak of the real and the virtual, the material and immaterial? Here these categories are not in opposition, or in some metaphysical disagreement, but more in an electroliquid aggregation, enforcing each other, as in a two part adhesive.”
Lars Spuybroek, [1998] Motor Geometry, Architectural Design, Vol 68 No 5/6, p5My Electroliquid Aggregation combines Isaac Newton and Maria Agnesi's hypotheses, resulting in the notion that...
“The fluidity of the natural and built environment can have significant effects on the human condition. Therefore the compilation of architecture that utilizes both complex and geometrical structures along with more simplistic and earth bound structures, using developed mathematical solutions will provide a sense of unity that restores emotional and cognitive equilibrium to the human psyche.”
