The 3 Quotes
Alfred Nobel:
"Alfred Nobel's discoveries are characteristic; powerful explosives can help men perform admirable tasks. they are also a means to terrible destruction in the hands of the great criminals who lead people to war." - Pierre Curie
Jacques-Yves Cousteau:
"From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free." - Jacques-Yves Cousteau
Keith Campbell:
"Cloning is just another technique we can add...The ability to integrate cloning into the production line should be allowed to farmers." - Keith Campbell

Animations
The animations have a brief description attached to them (turn on your sound :P) and there's a more detailed explanation of the spaces in my previous post(s).
Underground: Skeletal
Firstly, I'll talk about the location of the whole model. It's going to be situated in the desert - As Gascoigne collects weathered/broken/left to rot materials to create her artworks - which are all damaged by the wind, rain and sun. There would probably be bones that have been weathered by the sun and wind - broken into pieces which she would be able to use as an inspiration/material for her works.
Also, my underground stairs rise out of the ground 'intruding' into my above ground space, so I thought i could add a bit of 'fragmentary-ness' to it by making the 'spine' of the stairs and steps that come up above the ground crumble to bits. The bits and pieces on the ground also somewhat resemble an image in the desert where you might be able to find fragments of bones, and that's why I decided to situate it in a desert.
This is a view looking down my underground stairs. The construction stopping the sand from collapsing in is made out of reflective material. As the viewer goes through the transition area and up to the ground, they will notice the 'spine' of my stairs (if they haven't noticed yet) because of the reflection.
Another image showing the desertion of the above ground area and the connection between my underground stairs and my above ground area.
This is a view of my underground stairs within my underground space.
This image shows the artwork 'Pett Level, England' (photograph) by Hall.
Explanation of Underground space: You start from the indented area (where the person is standing in the picture below). the viewer would only see the thin beams all coming down towards them, and would notice that they're made out of brittle material/and thin which gives the beams a skeletal quality. The ribcage-like constructions act as a guide to the stairs as well as blocking the thick beams from the viewer's sight while they focus on the thin ones.
As the viewer starts walking out of the indented area, onto the stairs going up, they would notice the thick ones extruding out of the earth. The thick and thin beams work together to form a tree like relationship of how branches coming out in all directions - which relates back to Hall's photograph of a tree.

Overall Underground space
[I included the lines of the terrain in some images to highlight the contours which I think gives it a greater sense of depth in the space]

Above Ground: Fragmentary
This is an image with a quarter of the sphere-ish space hidden - to illustrate how the shadows go through the trasparent/semi transparent materials and how it hits the floor creating defined shadows.
This is an image of my above ground stairs showing how it connects the space to the datum.
This is an image looking directly down my stairs. It continues the theme of my above ground space where it is constructed by fragments of different materials using simple geometry.
Google Warehouse Model
I had to delete my underground terrain due to the file size restrictions
Edit: Also tried filefront but got this message when I tried uploading: This function is currently down for maintenance and will be back shortly :/
