EXP Final Crysis Images

Design Overview

For me, this whole process was about power. How power can influence how people are perceived, and ultimately how they perceive themselves.














Angela Merkel





























The Facade of Merkel's Office was designed around her occupation. For me the ultimate political power in architecture can be demonstrated as large and dominating. As I see Merkel as being integral to holding the EU together, I wanted her office to be seen as being firstly, the foundation on which she is holding the structure up, but also the web that holds it together.


Miranda Kerr



























For Miranda Kerr I wanted to design her office around a central tower, which has many supports holding her up, almost like putting her on a pedestal. Her Beauty is her power, which is why every level of her office is made to present her as she is.


The Elevators



























Each of the elevators were designed around the two core ideals which I associated with both Merkel and Kerr. These were Union and Beauty. The first image presents the union of Merkel, showing that there are many supports which make a whole. The second image presents the beauty of Kerr, which in itself lends to the business which she works in where everything is elaborate and delicate.


Dining Area














For the Dining area I wanted to design something which would bring both entities together, a union of power and beauty. The meeting area is placed on a hill which looks back to the bridge and their offices. I based the idea on having both Merkel and Kerr being able to look back on their offices and to be able to go over their ideas critically.

Textured Sketchup Images






Textures

For these textures I wanted to think carefully about hows they were positioned on the grid. The main reason for this was that I wanted them to be able to be tiles properly when I came to the point where I could texture my models.

Mash Up

The power of one person.

The time has now come to present this remarkable person. It was such a different experience to travel the world as an advocate for the oppressed. To be trapped in a world without language your heart is definitely in the country and with nature otherwise where else would it lie?

For me it's ongoing, it's a continual process, this is not something to put on the back burner. Either we all stand together or we drift off in different directions, which would be the wrong thing to do. Being outdoors and amongst nature is so important for our wellbeing. As such she was able to unleash her curiosity and intelligence on the world.

I love being in nature, urging unity in any world response, to become one of history’s most inspiring learners. To be able to live in the moment and enjoy every step along the way presents an opportunity to support closer security ties for the core duty for stable development and sustainable growth. I owe my world to literature and am a household name worldwide. I can't wait to do it again.
