Final Screencaptures.

Below the Ive's space spanning out over the bridge. In the foreground you can see the Ive office and as the bridge stretches into the horizon you catch a glimps of the 'shells' of gaga's office.

Overhead of the bridge spanning the valley inter joining the 2 client spaces. The juxtaposition of the colours warm and cold indicate the 'common' and private areas.

On bridge approaching Jonathan Ive space. The wavy structure of the bridge is shown acting as a set of wings but also complimenting the stream below.

Overhead shot of bridge and meeting area. You are able to see both elevators on either sides of the river as well as the common area.

Meeting table situated over the river in between the 2 mountain ranges, overlooked by the bridge above. The space its self is set down on the river bed giving the 2 clients a sence of solitude and a way to take break from the media and the general public. Jonathan Ive's elevator is on the left hand side whislt Gaga's resides between the trees on the right. The table sits above the water and also acts as a bridge.

Overhead shot of sunset over the environment and spaces showing the offices and bridge and how they interact with the environment.

Controls for elevator:

Jonathan Ive ..press "n" to go up "p" to come back down.

Lady Gaga elevator...press "k" to go up "o" to go down

FInal Words:

I gave my spaces and meeting area a futuristic neo-feel with the use of lighting. Partially because Lady Gaga is in the music industry and is out of the 'norm' I think these vivid lights reflect her personality and the media she is involved in. Furthermore Jonathan Ive's position in apple, a new age development company constantly striving to produce the latest most innovative electronic devices further emphasises the use of neon lighting to produce the futuristic outlook of the spaces above but also aluding to the idea that technology comes from knowledge and knowledge is power.

final buildings elevator and bridge designs

Bridge Angle 1- Inspired by the flowing river through my landscape (Yosemite national park CA, USA)

Bridge Angle 2 ( texture also fitted to simulate the river in a futuristic way)

Jonathan Ive elevator - Simple pyramidal design. 1 entrance from front.

Jonathan Ive elevator - interior (no texture) Very geometric no curves just flat sharp concise corners. Pyramids were a sign of great power in ancient egypt and only the wealthiest (pharaohs) were embalmed in and buried inside them.

Lady Gaga elevator - Helmet inspired curved surface textures (abstract pattern texture corresponding to her questionable lifestyle)

Lady Gaga elevator - Side view. Use of the helmet design inspires power through protection.

Lady Gaga office - Open plan living area Curved roof/wall structure (no texture)

Lady Gaga office - (curved custom texture) The Open shells lap over each other getting bigger. There is an open wide staircase leading up to the stage.

Lady Gaga office

Jonathan Ive office - Blocky squared , geometric and precise. Reflects his job and the sheer size envelops a sign of power and authority.

Jonathan Ive office front view.

Jonathan Ive office - Squared (Linear texture)

Table and meeting area draft

Table meeting area

Table meeting area with transparent glass outer walls and inner table. The table is surrounded by a 'curtain' of glass poles enclosing the space suspended from a wavy glass frame which compliments the landscape and bridge.
