Labs in Sandbox

These images show two Labs, the upper one for Charles Darwin and the lower for Steven Hawkin. Hawkin's lab takes into account his limited mobility due to his wheelchair and is conveniently all on one floor level. They also show the land form ramps that take the two clients from each of their labs to the meeting place.

Darwin's lab has adapted to suit its environment by using Hawkins' lab as a base and then spanning itself across the chasm.
Also, Darwins' lab is the highest because it symbolises how the fittest win out, and therefore rise to the top.
The use of simple rectangular prisms to create a building that is special and unique symbolises Hawkins' idea that there is nothing very special about humans except that we can understand the Universe which makes us special and unique.
