SUBMISSION: FINAL!

images for the final model:

the overall view of the bridge and environment: Repetition of the circular forms in different scales are connected by the simple bridge and elevators. this is articulating the power of women. as i said in the mashup, the power was determined by the mind, which give them the strengths. the circular form office express that the mind goes round and round, leading to adaption to changes and the essences of their power. and the building is in the huge scale, because in their mind, there is a world.

the stairs in one of the building. these stairs, with the bridge, elevators and the meeting place, can form a loop baesd on the two offices. the idea of the loop is the same with the circular forms, and it can make the whole design a integrity.

the stair of one office, leading from office to elevator. and this stair goes from inside the building to the top of the lower building block.

the Merkel's office, under the sunset.


a bit far away view: two major circular forms locate on the two sides of the valley.

a night scene of the building.


a shot from one side of the bridge.

it can be seen there is a platform on the building, it is for the rest place and location for the elevator. also, the openness indicating the world-wide based thoughts of Merkel.

on the bridge, seeing the Kerr's office.


this is the meeting place, which will protrude from one side of the valley. due to the fact that their worlds are full of complicated and colourful things. a simple and neat design could give them a chance to refresh and balance their mind.


the elevator from Kerr's office. the same with the whole style, regular forms were employed in the elevator. the big black transparent object is glass box. the elevator, except the lowest basement will be going from the top then cover the passengers.


the elevator from the Merkel's office. the big rings will rotate in a certain ways, and then the basement will penetrate into it.


the passages that connect two major building blocks.


a bird view of the design.

SUBMISSION: THE LINKS OF THE SKETCHUP MODEL AND SANDBOX ENVIRONMENT

SUBMISSION: 18 SKETCHES

my final eighteen sketches, including 6 one-point perspectives and 12 two-point perspectives.


SUUBMISSION: MARKING SCHEDULE

the two marking schedule by other students.


development of the landform

the development of the landform:

i try to add some trees in the environment that it can be seen like the original photo. the problem is the landform is too big that vegetation far away cannot be seen, and it is hard to arrange the plants in an aesthetic way.

the tree-added shot from different angle.

on the other hand, i add some new texture into the environment to see the effect.

this is the first time i import the bridge into the landform. the landform is big, and the bridge is also huge. the scale are need to consider.








SUBMISSION: 36 TEXTURES.



the 36 texture for the design experiment 3.

Two Images of elevator.


CAUTION: fail to capture the elevator, but the view on the elevator did change, so upload two images to indicate the difference.

the elevator is on the ground.

the elevator is in the air.


18 two point perpectives


18 one point perspectives.


Valley in the experiment.

I choose the Jamison Valley in Australia as my environment in my design.

EXPERIMENT 3:SUBMISSION: MASHUP!

the article below is the mashup of three separate articles about the clients.

The little girl became one of history's remarkable women. Nobody can read Her mind, a talent she developed while growing up in East Germany as the daughter of a Lutheran pastor. She’s described her take on life as 'enjoying wherever it is I am and trying to be in the moment as much as possible'. She dedicated her life to improving the conditions of blind and the deaf-blind around the world, and is writing an inspirational self-esteem self-help book called "Treasure Yourself" aimed at the female teenage demographic.

To be allowed by the regime to build a successful career as a scientist, without actually joining the ruling Party of Socialist Unity (though she was active in its youth wing), required a prodigious capacity to veil her own opinions, to seem unthreatening and to concentrate in a pragmatic way on the task in hand. She lectured in more than 25 countries on the five major continents, saying, 'Basically, it's a whole lot of information that I've found, that has helped me.’

She has an excellent sense of humour and often smiles. Wherever she appeared, she brought new courage to millions of blind people, saying ‘If I can help one girl by doing this then I've completed my purpose,' but people no more know what lies behind her smile than what lies behind the Mona Lisa's.

Power is basically gained from mind. The abilities of you mind to know how to achieve purposes and adapt to changes, as well as the Great Spirit to help the world, could be seen as power.

Hlen Keller

Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author, political activist and lecturer. She was the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.[1][2] The story of how Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, broke through the isolation imposed by a near complete lack of language, allowing the girl to blossom as she learned to communicate, has become known worldwide through the dramatic depictions of the play and film The Miracle Worker.
