When comlng up wlLh my ldea lL Look a whlle. l nally seuled
on he works of lsaac Aslmov. Scl-ll appealed Lo me.

lsaac Aslmov's 8oboL" serles was wrluen beLween 1930 and
1983, a ume where posLmodern archlLecLure was belng
lnLroduced lnLo socleLy. 1hls shows ln a loL of hls work where
all of Lhe archlLecLure on Solarla ls clean and smooLh, lL ls
wlLhouL cluuer and has a loL of curves Lo porLray beauLy ln a
slmple way raLher Lhan overloadlng Lhe mlnd wlLh Loo much
sumulus. l am golng Lo look aL osL Modern envlronmenLs
and bulldlng Lo glve me an ldea for Lhe sLyle l wanL Lo go for.

My orlglnal plan was Lo model Lhe old and desolaLed
envlronmenL of Lhe ume Lhe book ls seL. Powever Lhls has
been found Lo be a llule challenglng as Lhere lsn'L a a greaL
deal of ume spenL on Lhls place ln Lhe sLory. My revlsed ldea
ls Lo re-creaLe Lhe memory of Lhe home of Cladla where she
descrlbes how she remembers Lhe esLaLe she grew up on.

As Aslmov's books were wrluen wlLh osL Modern archlLecLure ln mlnd, l looked aL dlerenL bulldlng wlLhln Lhose
parameLers Lo lnuence my work.
My alm ls Lo mlx Lhe Lwo and nd Lhe lnLersecuon beLween all Lhree caLegorles. ln my head l can lmaglne an esLaLe uullslng all of Lhe
maLerlals Lo creaLe a hablLaL noL only for humans, buL for Lhe roboLs as well, as Lhey need Lo galn Lhelr own power source, whlle keeplng lL
dlscreLe enough for comforL of Lhe humans (known as spacers)
As far as land ls concerned, Lhere are up Lo 10,000 roboLs farmlng Lhe land and keeplng lL fresh,
sulLable and ferule. 8ecause Lhls ls done by Lhe roboLs and noL Lhe humans, Lhe equlpmenL used
Lo do Lhls would noL be L Lo use by Lhem and lnsLead would be deslgned and manufacLured for
Lhe roboLs.
When looklng aL colours, l LhoughL, because Lhe semng ln Lhe book ls a very naLural envlronmenL, buL sull bullL up lnLo mlnl esLaLes
and Lowns, l would raLher sLay away from Lhe very dark colours, llke black, dark brown and very deep reds.
