Jacques Cousteau
"The impossible missions are the only ones which succeed."
For Cousteau's drawings, i've placed an emphasis on awkward geometry and vertically orientated structure. Together these qualities embody many of the difficulties involved in sub-surface exploration and life, allowing the lab-space to mirror the field.
Alfred Nobel
"Home is where I work, and I work everywhere."
The more primitive geometry of Nobel's drawings encourages an industrial setting within, and enables the diversity of space necessary to conduct explosives testing alongside theoretical work. The division of these two activities was a primary consideration.

Jacques Cousteau
"Can people live under the sea? If they can, for how long? A day, a week, a month? Captain Cousteau took these questions as a new challenge and launched his team into a mad adventure: building houses under the sea."

Keith Campbell:
"Cloning may be good and it may be bad. Probably it's a bit of both. The question must not be greeted with reflex hysteria but decided quietly, soberly and on it's own merits. We need less emotion and more thought"
