ARCH1390 Benjamin Knowles: Spore: Scuderia Environment

Detailed Creature Description

Environment: The Museum Formula Automobile

Appetite: Other museum exhibits

Origin/Explanation: Scuderia is a creature created within Spore which reflects the history of formula one through the collaboration and incorporation of the unique design features from such automobiles throughout the sports history. The name originates from the original Ferrari formula one racing team, as we are able to identify such design features as the thin racing slicks, which first emerged in the 1950’s on such automobiles as the ‘Ferrari 500’. Furthermore the custom exhaust form reflects that of the 1960’s era or the distinctive mid section air–intake of the 1980’s within such automobiles as the Williams FW11 which continued to develop into the 1990’s.
Hence Scuderia’s environment is a dedicated museum of formula one history located in the centre of a city upon where the notion of a history representative is enhanced through a juxtaposition of an aging city and a modern and contemporary museum, in turn forming a representation of history. One identifies the notion that the museum represents a stationary place within history while the city, although aging will continue to develop to create the history of the present’s future.
