Exp.3 Draft Spaces and Concepts

The Following image is some idea development I did in Sketchup as I was trying to form rounded shapes. I want to continue to develop this concept for Prada's Office. These are the UT image captures of my spaces as they currently are. 

Ideas Sketching

A little bit of inspiration

From interlocking leather couches to L shapes building and glass floors, these images, to me, all represent power. I have looked into the latest fashion layouts for the Prada interior as well as a high tech looking space for Madonna.

Prada and Rem Koolhaus "Transformer Building

MashUp

The "intensity" of the    ‘Material Girl's' controversial concert in Russia is massive, nearly $800 billion. Helping,  Italian luxury goods company Prada hosted a party in central Seoul. The occasion was the official opening of Prada's tetrahedron-shaped structure on the grounds of an ancient Korean palace,  the event, a “natural disaster” and  blasphemy  in the form of a cross.  On the rise  its flair for the dramatic, lending expanding,  the ``Transformer"  160 ton steel structure can be lifted and rotated in an hour in order to create a different shape and interior.  Branded  that the worst of the crisis may be over as the money is just now starting to flow.  An agreement to set out decency for helping struggling homeowners   is becoming increasingly borderless and vague. The pop superstar signs an agreement to  push forward  efforts to clean up the  luxury,  local authorities are furious about the plans. Many executives nevertheless give orders for a cultural celebration for the banks' toxic mortgage assets.  How does the business community think President Barack Obama,  Madonna and  Prada are doing?  complaints trickling out slowly are on the rise and  "We're happy with the general outlines of what he's done; things are starting to take hold."

Plan View of Alfred Nobel's Environment and the bridge inside 

the wall:

Images of the ramps, and all of the environments:
Explanation:

I made sure that Alfred Noble was not isolated and cut off from Jacques-yves cousteau by ensuring they had easy access to their meeting place and to each others studios as well as ensuring that their meeting place was large enough for them have space for any experiments they may need to do. Alfred Nobel has a large environment with many shelves to house his library. It also has a peaceful outdoor area and separate spaces for offices and meeting rooms. Nobel's environment is designed to act as the 'head quarters' and office for him to run his factories. Ultimately, the peaceful environment will become the place where he experiments and in the latter part of his life, will write his will.  

Jacques-yves Cousteau's environment has a very organic vibe to it. It also has two large empty fish tanks which could easily house large marine animals if necessary, however, I chose to leave them empty to show that the marine tank cannot "duplicate the conditions of the sea". The water and peaceful environment can act as an inspiration for Jacques-yves cousteau. My "dark" texture used in Jacques-yves cousteau's environment reinforces the organic nature of the environment. Cousteau's environment provides the ecologist not only a place to experiment, but also a peaceful environment for writing in.
