final exp3 model

finalEXP3.ut2

My Exp3 model development really started when i was doing my mash up. The ideas of power, control, commercialism, corruption and growth were created from the joining of 3 article allowed me to evolve these ideas to become structural elements. The bridge itself i have reconstructed for it to become an idea of power itself. The monumental design of pyramids inverted and tessellating to still retain a form of a bridge came as the pyramids are a icon figure of power. The Egyptian race the retained power politically, technologically is an example of the power these pyramids represent.
Steve Jobs space is based upon hyperbolic idea that jobs is a god. His control over his target market and the way his advertising and marketing can control how people react to his products made me fearful of this character. His "divine" space is represented my a cloud. Although a cloud does not have physical structural qualities, i have planned and shaped it to become my own interpretation of a cloud. The cloud structure has many cables/string descending from it. This idea can be seen as the cloud creating rain, to fuel zhang's growth in power (as mention in the mash up) or as the strings of the puppeteer. The strings Jobs uses to control his market and manipulated and propagate his company's name. The square levels inside these strings are elevators which depict the movement of people in shopping centres and malls. The rising and descending along elevator cables, all manipulated and controlled within the puppet strings of Jobs.Zhang's space is contained and simplistic yet it grows and dominates the whole environment. The growth of power is a major connotation which reflects her paper recycling business. Growth is associated to the natural world therefore my structure is similar to the naturally spreading vines and roots.
The bridge experience itself embedded in the pyramids is a corridor of class and nobility. A common part of power is wealth and the meeting area must accommodate the wealthy and powerful, therefore such an environment was create as a showcase of achievements by the people meeting in this space.

elevator reminiscent of shopping malls. the movement of people in shopping malls. the idea that jobs controls the public with commercialism. The movement of people is controlled by the "puppet" strings which also allude to the cables of shopping centre elevators.

Mash up - Power of consumerism, capitalist societies, control , money

It was one of China's proverbs that Mao loved to quote; Steven P. Jobs he would say, hold up half the sky. But given how Mao has come to stand for everything noble and self-sacrificing, a reminder that personal computing is hastening the destruction of the planet . But last week it was reported that China's richest billionaire is now a woman - 49-year-old Zhang Yin is worth a cool $3.4bn (£1.8bn). Zhang Yin owes her success both to Steven P. Jobs Xiaoping and ardent communist Mao. “It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that a brash brush stroke of lipstick feminism, is now just another iPod color.”

As the daughter of an officer in the People's Liberation Army, Zhang Yin also she travels light in comparison to generations ago understands the corrupt and controlling pathology of Chinese communism well - and has understood the imperative to keep changed their clothes several times a day. In China the stiletto controls, or has the capacity to control Google , . Versace Apple everything; the number of companies forced into decline or even bankruptcy because they were compelled to support Steven P. Jobs’s passion for personal computing. he spent (years) cajoling his designers to build what he presented today as the world’s “controlling pathology”

If that sounds communist or over the top, Ms. Versace has looked at over-the-top through the rearview mirror since the mid-1970s, when she began working with seeking not to get locked out of the mobile phone world with her brother Mao. She remains an infamously decadent esprit that years of controlling and ownership and has exploiting the system's fault lines have done little to dampen one of the best things his company has ever designed.

EXP2 UTed final















Stephen Hawkings side. of how human intent leads the opposite results. Outside structure seems more cavern like.















Yet interior structure is more open light and space















Jane goodall's idea of how every individual counts. this idea remined me of bungee ropes, which are just thousands of elastic bands. together the elastics can form something very strong, yet every individual band counts. This inspired ths design.




























Light -> dark transition
Open -> enclosed transition
The Electroliquid Aggregation quote was a combination of Jane Goodall and Stephen Hawkings quote. The notion it proposes is that are of destructive nature, and creates life in the image of itself.(viruses) Yet this can change with each individual effort.


My design is based on how humans strive to achieve something, yet the end result is the opposite of their initial intent. This is reflected by how the outside strcuture is encased to become like a interior. And the interior structure built into the wall, seems to be the open area. The idea hits the occupants one they come to the edge and realise that they infact on the exterior structre.





















The ramp is a thin connection. To show how delicate the balance is to create something that is good.
