[EXP3 FINAL] UT Model + Sketchup Model + Screenshots
OVERVIEW
My three spaces are designed for t clients: Zhang Yin, located above the bridge, Stevejobs, under the bridge, and the dining/meeting area is also below the bridge. The spaces are designed to evoke a sense of power suiting each client's personality.Zhang Yin
Zhang Yin's space is designed to bring a sense of harmony and balance to the space. While the space itself is large and the walls are curved to give one a sense of intimidation as he/she walks through it, the space itself is partly open air to avoid claustrophobia. And while the reception area and the stairs are large spaces, the client's actual private studio is relatively small and cosy, reflecting her down-to-earth and humble personality. From above the space can be seen to symbolize that of a dragon, or the Yin-Yang symbol of balance, all of which I believe will strike an emotional chord with the client.Steve Jobs
Steve Job's more demanding and aggressive personality is expressed in the abstract deconstructivist style I used for his studio. The jagged and assymetric shapes represent his unique individuality that he is so famous for. While the exterior and some of the interior may seem more bold and striking, his private studio is relatively warm and sleek, designed to be a quiet but modern working area to formulate ideas.Dining Area
The dining area uses elements from both client's studios to fuse a meeting and social space that is suitable for everyone. Bright colours are used to accentuate Steve Job's personality and charisma but the structure of the area is built in a clean, modern and minimalistic style that would suit Zhang Yin's personality well too.
SketchUp Model ( 2 elevators + dining table)
The dining table expresses a deviation from what is normal from the upturned leg; it expresses the individuality, uniqueness, and even boldness that a powerful individual would want. The lifts are based on perspective sketches.

[EXP3 FINAL] 18 PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS + 36 CUSTOM TEXTURES + MASHUP
How my MashUp relates to Power:
Using different sized fonts, and different colours, I sought to symbolize individuality in my MashUp. Power symbolizes a distinct individual seperate from the rest, while individuality can represent power.

*Curvy elongated geometries that promote a sense of balance and harmony.
*The shape of the space can represent both the Yin-Yang symbol of harmonious balance, or the shape of a dragon (a name of her company).
*Added detail and ornament to symbolize her defiance away from tradition.
*A more enclosed space that is more soothing, yet has open air areas. Although her studio is high up above the bridge, the enclosed space makes her feel less powerful (she is a very humble and down-to-earth person).

Introduction
My spaces were designed for two clients: Jane Goodall and Stephen Hawking. Using quotes from each of these clients I designed two seperate labs for them which are interconnected by an 'in-between space' that can be used as a meeting space. Ramps were placed in much of the spaces to allow for ease of passage. In terms of level, Jane Goodall's lab is 'underground', the meeting space is inbetween while Stephen Hawking's lab is just directly above part of the meeting space.
The Meeting Space
The meeting space can be divided into two parts. The larger open air area is basically the main meeting space for congregation, speeches or tours. A custom drawn dark texture was used on the walls here.
Going down the stairs/ramps will lead you to the second part, which is a covered area. The end of the room has a large window to allow natural lighting. The larger ramp leads up to Stephen Hawking's lab, which is the overhanging 'box' you can see in the screenshot.
Stephen Hawking's Lab
Since Stephen Hawking is a thereotical physicist, he has to spend alot of time doing calculations or thought experiments, and therefore needs a quieter and smaller space to work in. With this in mind, I designed his lab to be on the second level, a small lab that is cosy with warm lighting. A larger window on the left allows him to look down into the meeting spaces so the lab won't feel too claustrophobic.
With the choice of texture, I has his quote 'I don't believe that the ultimate theory will come by steady work along existing lines. We need something new.' in mind. Thus I created a custom texture in my sketchbook using light, large-spaced lines. This texture is used in his lab.
Jane Goodall's Lab
Jane Goodall's lab was designed to be larger with more natural decorations, since she loves working in the open and with nature. Thus flowing water walls were added to her lab, and natural pool areas. Her lab is also considerably larger than Stephen Hawking's lab, because considering the nature of her work, she probably wouldn't like claustrophobic spaces.
I also used a custom drawn texture in her lab, made of hundreds of individual lines running down the walls. This is in relation to her quote 'Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.' Each line represents an individual; all different.
