draft models

Bridge and offices are located on the half way up the mountain, and meeting place is on the top. Left hand side office belongs to Lady Gaga, and right hand side is Jonathan's office.

central part of bridge

These are my draft designed bridge and T-shape offices. This is a challenge about office design, because it is hard to express the theme of 'power' with simple T-shapes. I picked 2 T-shape drawing from perspective drawings and modified them.

The concept about bridge is that the main road be divided into two parts and be collected on each office side when it is unused. The two parts are different and look like tunnel. There is a small single train on Jonathan's side for crossing the bridge.

After the consultation with tutor, the central part will also be splitted, so there's no bridge when no one use it. and beholders could see the whole landscape of valley.



Experiment on elevator

a practice on making elevator, i tried to make the elevator combined by several parts, and the final elevators might be similar to this one

bridge movement experiment

a simple experiment about my bridge movement, the final bridge is based on this design.
there is also a practice about modifying metalic material.

What makes this feat even more remarkable is the fact that Lady Gaga is there not just because of the eye-popping Sh7.8billion ($90 million) ‘Monster Ball Tour’ which became the highest grossing tour by a debut headlining artist this year and could easily go down as one of the top ten highest grossing tours of all time, Jonathan Ive, Vice President of Industrial Design, Apple Computers and designer of the iMac, who has been described by the New York Times as "perhaps the most influential designer in the computer world" and by Time Magazine as "one of the world's cyber elite". In their study -- which includes all sorts of equations and variables and such -- they conclude that "her endorsement had a positive effect on the votes Obama received, increased the overall voter participation rate, and increased the number of contributions received by Obama." but also because of her 32 million Facebook fans and 9.5 million Twitter followers- cheekily referred to as ‘Little Monsters.

More than 2 million iMac computers were sold in the first year of production, and Business

Week has called iMac "one of the century's lasting images". They even come up with a 

number.1,015,559. As in, Oprah's endorsement meant 1,015,559 additional votes for Sen. Obama.

Yosemite valley, California, USA

Since both Oprah and Lady Gaga are from in USA, Oprah was burn in Kosciusko, Mississippi and Lady Gaga was burn in New York, I pick up valleys from USA. Another reason for choosing valley in American is that Jonathan comes from British, where has no remarkable valleys. Yosemite valley is attractive because of the wanderful environment and the bright colours created by vegetation and mountain.

These are image captures in sandbox, I created the rough landform and the idea from Yosemite valley. however i faced some problems about terrain texture.

The Grand Canyon, Colorado, USA

Grand Canyon valley is farmous for its special and glorious terrain, and it is also a representation of  power. I made a similar terrain in sandbox.
