Elevator 02: P,L = Up, Down


















My draft environments were critiqued by fellow classmates Terrence Wong & Jessica Morgan.

EXP03 - THE DEVELOPED ENVIRONMENT











This is my developed Crysis Wars environment. My idea of power is that it is unknown and that power can be mysterious. I have chosen to keep to a circular theme to help convey the notion of power and reflect the idea of mystery within the architecture.



N.B. To see the Mashup article, Perspective sketches & Textures, please view 'older posts'.

THE OFFICE BUILDINGS































Miranda Kerr's Office
































Helen Keller's Office


I have designed the offices for Miranda Kerr and Helen Keller similarly, so that the only way to tell them apart is by the surrounding landscape. Both buildings consist of a series of cylinder structures giving the idea of a hidden office room somewhere in between of the structures. I have designed round steps to continue with the circular theme of my design.

THE BRIDGE & ELEVATORS































The bridge that I have designed is very simple and minimalistic - a series of circular 'pods', presenting a powerful sense of danger to the person traveling the bridge. The two elevators are the middle circular 'pods' and are deliberately designed within the bridge to convey a sense of mysteriousness and the unknown. I have used the same texture for the bridge and elevators to emphasise the idea of mystery.

Elevator 02: P,L = Up, Down

THE MEETING PLACE































This is the meeting place for Miranda Kerr and Helen Keller. It is located on a small island situated in between the two office buildings. The secluded area of the island and meeting place emphasise the notion of 'mystery'. I have chosen to keep to the circular theme when designing the dining table and chairs to further emphasise this idea.

The Bridge



















The Elevator











The Meeting Place


p.s. These are only draft pictures and the design has been kept plain on purpose, with no textures applied to them. I feel as if the bridge and elevator are much too large, so I shall redo them in Sketchup.

THE IDEA OF POWER

The statue stood Classic style dominated, reflecting the tough new reality, pledging to revive the faltering German economy. This statue will get their attention, The new "grand coalition" of left and right boasts broad support within.

The eight ministries of 350 relatively young guests became an internationally celebrated advocate for those who live in the country.

In a ceremony unveiling the statue, "I am going to try to raise as much money as I can for these people, you can be sure that I will handle with responsibility the things that made you a German chancellor whom people will remember fondly,"

An lavish evening event dripping in champagne, exclusive dining and costly after-party, a former congressman, came up with the idea to liberalise employment law and introduce regional wage negotiations. They laid the groundwork for laws which easily passed the threshold of 308 votes needed to be confirmed.

Yesterday was the first time her power awakened her soul to the potential for her life. A shadow of former years, reflecting the tougher climate. is a sign that courage and strength can exist in the most unlikely places.
