////week 13 - final design, bridge, elevator & dining table

Ciudad Ventosa

Dining Table


Office Elevator


Power def/: The ability or capacity to perform or act effectively.

Both Oprah & Jonathan have established themselves as powerful people in today's society. The city of Chicago also established as one of America's best cities. The combination of the two provides an appropriate metaphor in describing power. The two buildings that represent both Oprah & Jonathan are placed across the road from each other & joined by a bridge that crosses the Chicago river to another building combined for both Oprah & Jonathan as a merged business venture. Combining both Oprah & Jonathan in the creation of the apple Opad.

The bridge was inspired by the millenium bridge in London & the arch bridge in Dubai. The reason for this was that the general bridge designs though effective does not engage the observer with the design.

The elevator's design was simple to separate or otherwise smoothen the transition from a power environment to the otherwise general public. The buildings & bridge are placed higher above the city skyline for representation of power above the rest of the city. This keeps the two worlds unconnected.

The Dining table is a merger of both Oprah & Jonathan's logo. It is placed above the combined Oprah & Jonathan building on top of the roof, where a zen garden is available with a small waterfall & tranquil pathways surrounded by a pond to provide a feng shui environment for both Oprah & Jonathan during there meetings.


Due to technical difficulties, I was unable to upload any videos taken from Crysis Sandbox.

////week 8 - Test Submission (draft) & Paraíso Verde Final Submission

TEST SUBMISSION (DRAFT)




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PARAISO VERDE - EXP 2 THE SPACE BETWEEN
FINAL SUBMISSION




Space cannot be designed, it can be captured, enhance, given meaning & definition. Similar to that of Issac Newton's theories the acceptance of one's ideas or designs are highly based on how well they can communicate with it's users as well as how well it interacts with its surrounding. With this is mind, Maria Agnesi's mathematical developments suggest that aesthetics are not supported by form or functionality but rather the simple notion that is an understanding of appearance unlimited by complicated thoughts.

The PARAISO VERDE (GREEN PARADISE), is a collaboration of Issac Newton & Marai Agnesi's hypotheses, which created a space between two minor studios & a main meeting place. The design had evolved with the environment as it's defining principle, having the people using the spaces to be aware of their current surrounding but not engulfed by unnatural alienating maze of technology.

The Main meeting place takes shape off the land form, a natural grade that leads people up & down the mountain, with views that make them feel that they are climbing the mountain without the restriction of the walls.

Both the studio's are positioned on either side of the meeting place, they allow the view of the space between as it main component. They symbolize the aesthetic qualities of the meeting place in a smaller scale. This allows a communication between both minor & main spaces to enhance comfortability & approval.
