The Second Draft Environment
This draft shows the initial stages when i decided to first use octagonal shapes as a means to incorporating the two workspaces of Obama and Prada.
The bridge was not adequately linked to the main shapes and I found that the overall organic feel was lost in this solely 'Unreal' environment.
For my final design despite still being predominately UT the use of naturally appealing materials really tied in well with the theme which I was trying to convey of 'Power in a workplace based on equality', - the essence of all sucessfull leadership.
A technical issue of a 'disappearing' bridge was also evident in this draft which I found a solution to in the latter stages.
The Elevators
Prada Elevator:
This elevator addressed the need for easy accessibility and incorporated open outdoor design and a good viewing point. My choice of material outlined the importance which is placed on feeling that the natural world, such as the wooden sculpture in Prada's foyer can relate to the man-man world.
Obama Elevator:
This elevators purpose is for the sole us of the president. It represent luxury and the power which Obama has over his fellow staff who are directed to use the dimly light and successively narrow corridor to access Obama primary private office. The organic forms with minimal structure provide a relaxing atmosphere, which is more masculine when compared to Prada's.
