This particular slide shares a resemblance to a part of my design; the hollow area in which Darwin can study marine life.

Week two independant study
This is what the model started like but I made some modifications to it so as to make it more habitable
There is a ramp from the land going up towards the structure in order to allow access for both Scientist. On Stephen Hawking's side, i've left a large open view of the sky and I've placed the building somewhere where the mountains would not block his view of space. For Darwin I've set up four cages, to allow him to study different sized animals, and a hollow ground to the water so he can study marine life.The quotes from these two scientist can be merged to become: "There are theories to as how the universe came into existence but no one’s tried to answer the question of why. Could it be that like humans, the universe is aiming to survive? And if it is our responsibility to adapt to the changes in our surroundings then what does the universe adapt to in order to remain alive?"

Charles Darwin Quote
"In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment."

Stephen Hawking Quote
"The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?"

Nicole Kupper Quote
"The reason why I'm so excited about solar technology
is because of its immense potential to help solve two major problems that I'm passionate about. First one being climate change...and the second being global poverty"
