when in versace's office, wait for central elevator, when this stops on the bottom level, jump to make it move to lower level. Thanks

5 real time image captures of developed ut2004 environment

Versace's office is central, whilst her workers offices spiral around her like a fashion accessory, highlighting her absolute power which demands attention. The presence of superficial embelishment highlights from where versace draws her power.

texture in the meeting place highlights this tension, yet the lighting and table attempt to provide an environment in which power is stablised.

Each clients entry to the meeting poit is dark, representing the tension created by their opposing types of power and personalities.

dark, dramatic corridor before entering steve jobs office highlights his struggle to power.

A clean, ordered, simplicty characterises Steve Jobs office, as these are characteristics of his desings and hence source of his power. A monumental appearance and view of apple as an 'empire' ws also important in expressing Jobs' immense power.

Draft 1:

Sketchup(couldnt get warehosue to work):

sketchup elevators and table - development

whilst the apple elevater may be cliche, i feel that Steve Jobs displays a kind of arrongant, vindictive power and therefore seems as one who would travel in the symbol of their own power.

i opted for a simplistec table design. the obvious dicision of the table in two symbolises the very different kind of power which Versace and Steve Jobs posses. However each side needs the support of the other to stand and in this way an equality is achieved when they meet for working lunches.

week 4 - peer review

Power Mashup

Power;
Diligent, patient, deep involvement, honest, plain-speaking confidence, sensibility, charismatic, irreplaceable, constant input,
Wilful and brazen. Propelled into the limelight, boosted into the stratosphere, elevated to the status of superstar. Looking good and rave reviews.The most controversial, the most successful, oozes smug superiority.
Power; almost always right, and even when its wrong, its so creative its still amazing."
World's Richest, self-made worth $200 million, turning $US4000 ($5000) of savings into a $3.4 billion fortune, profit more than quadrupled, market value of $108 billion.
Power parks its Mercedes in handicapped spaces, periodically reduces subordinates to tears, has diamonds that are "bigger than a very big grape, but smaller – just – than an apricot"and isn’t afraid of being No.1.”

Week 3

As Hawking’s ideas are concerned with the universe, his lab is more extensive, with dramatic changes in lighting. Various views of the sky are gained in this lab; an environment conducive to his kind of thought.

meeting place

For Goodalls lab I tried to make the spaces more uniting and harmonious, as per her relationship with nature, this was the effect I hoped to achieve by having the rooms ‘hug’ each other.

Initially I made the ramp to curl quite steeply, I imagined this as Hawking still coming to terms with the universe, how it works and why it exists; as stated in the quote. As the ramp and Hawking get closer the meeting place the ramp straightens signifying the solidity of his knowledge and idea.
