Final Model Real Time Images

This is an overall view of my experiment, with Steve Job's office on the top and Zhang Yin's below the meeting point.
This is the area leading to Steve Job's office. The area resembles the inside of a computer, which is enhance by a large CPU in the center. A CPU is the powerhouse of a computer, and thus it reflects the Mr Job's power, in a world full of technology.
This is Steve Job's office, it's design reflects the simplistic design aspects of the apple products such as ipods, and thus reflects the ability Mr Job's company has over the consumer world of technology.
This is the meeting point for both clients, which is surrounded by obelisks which I feel are a very powerful shape. These reflect the power of both clients, as they point inwards towards where they meet.
This is Zhang Yin's office. It reflects the way that she was able to build a multinational corporation from nothing. The lower steps contain simple objects which represent the little amount of money Yin started with, but as they rise, more objects appear to be growing out of them until the last step, where a large office like building is completely built showing how large her company is today. The shape of the building also reflects the modern skyrise buildings corporations are often located in, which represent power with the size of the building.

SketchUp Model For Experiment 3

These are my two elevators, the left for Zhang Yin and the right for Steve Jobs, with the dinning table for both in the middle. Zhang Yin's elevator reflectsher culture as well as her wealth and power through the eastern design of the platform. Steve Jobs represents technology, as his elevator resembles and ipod nano, which will surely give him an ego boost everytime he rides it!

SketchUp Elevator

This is a draft for my elevator which utilises four different objects. The floor stays stable to transport the person safely around the building, while the walls float freely around the platform. Although they float freely they are still close enough to protect people from falling from the elevator mid air.

MashUp

Perhaps more than anyone who became a household name Wednesday morning for topping a recent list of China's richest people, Donatella Versace said last week “It became tired”.
Returning to Apple Computer in 1997 after a decade in exile, Mr. Jobs set out to be the proud owner of a vast set of matched pink leather luggage. Zhang Yin's personal assets must have increased rolling out an expanding family of entertainment and communications product “Like black did” she said. Working with intense, solid swaths of color, she has concocted a new sex iPod that sounds over the top but, she added, “I don’t wear the same thing a lot of times.” Zhang defied a soldier's family in northeast China, to be sold online without a swatch from Giorgio Armani, creating some rather salacious looks in, of all things, beige. Reports of her massive wealth were printed in one bag each for dresses, shoes and accessories as the independent animation studio Pixar helped her remain largely “Blond”. Work appearance is richer than the U.S. television host Oprah Winfrey with roughly a dozen purple cases in tow. Mr. Jobs began rolling out stolen stiletto heels saying that “All shades or purple. If I do a dinner, I use purple lights. It gives a kind of mystery, a coziness and sensuality.”

Exp2- Unreal 2004 - Labs for Steven Hawking and Jane Goodall




This is the ramp that leads to Steven Hawking's lab, it is supported over a large void which may act as inspiration for his theories of relativity.





Below is a close up of the inside of Hawking's lab, with technology textures as well as my own custom texture.




This is the meeting room where Goodall and Hawkin are able to meet. There is a clash between the natural elements, representing Goodall and the technological elements representing Hawking.




This is the ramp leading to Goodall's lab which is held up by trees.



The natural environment around Goodall's lab allows her to study the animals around her as well as giving her monkey friends an area to live. The ramp leads in a twisted path representing a chimps playfulness as well as reflecting the nature around it.
