The Core

I have decided on the layout of the Quarantine cell. I am going to stay within the existing tower or "core" which is going to relate to the stages of the disease, and the activities are going to pop out of the core as it relates to the stage.






























Since color is a major aspect of the tower. I am going to incorporate color into the different activities. I looked into a little bit of color theory and the emotions that certain colors impart to relate them to each room.

orange (Kitchen): gives the sensation of heat; as a citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food and stimulates appetite.
blue (Living): the color of the sky and sea (one living area faces toward the river, the other faces to the skyline); blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with tranquility and calmness.
green (Bathroom): the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility.
yellow (Workout Room): it produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy.
light blue (Bedroom): is associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding, and softness.
