Ramps

Thinking logistically, Stephen Hawking's space needs to have a ramp that allows for movement of a wheelchair. I have therefore added side walls to the main ramp to access his space to add to its style and distinction and want to continue the multiple cube idea so must do this on the side of the ramp as otherwise, it would be difficult for a wheelchair. I could do this in Jane Goodall's space, however, I feel it would convey my thoughts more if it were outside, not in the solid space..

Ramps are not necessarily the conventional inclined plane, rather, a ramp is a way of moving from one place to another.. It can act like a 'machine' or can be a simple thoroughfare..

At this point I am thinking of having a few levels in Stephen Hawking's space, with a ramp spiralling around to the top..



Skate ramps come in all different sizes and shapes and inclines:




Ramps can spiral around like this one at the Guggenheim museum, NY:
