Final UT environment

Explanation:

Madonna: Madonna's space was inspired by her song 'material girl' as I created the building to look like diamonds. This represents the concept of wealth, power and control. Her spaces are large and are custom designed for Madonna's needs such as a recording studio, office space and a performance area.

Prada: Prada's space has a very particular style to it, it is sleak, modern and almost sexy. The roof has especially been designed in that shape so that fashion shows can be held on it.

The Meeting Place: The meeting place is grand, it has stairs leading down into the centre of the room with particularly warm coloured lighting. It has glass hand rails and a large dining table in the centre. A large clock is on the wall to show the clients power over time.




Final Spaces in Sketchup

This shows some areas of Madonna's environment.
This is Prada's elevator. It has strong bold lines representing power, resilience and strength. The windows look out on all directions which are symbolic for having power over the entire world.
This is an image capture of the environment from above (the plan), a front view (elevation) and a side view. I have drawn in the movement of the elevators for each environment to show how they work, the areas they access and how the spaces interact together. There are 3 elevators: Madona's elevator, Prada's elevator (going from the ramp down into Prada's building) and the elevator that goes down into the meeting space from the ramp.

Prada's Space Draft #2

I have designed Prada's space as contemporary and cutting edge. It is very sleek just like the brand. I have put in a floor plan to show the amount of floor space in the building as well as a diagram showing how the movers will be operating. The building is designed so that the employers can go outside onto the balcony to get fresh air and enjoy the building. The theme of the building is triangles derived from my EXP1 as I thought it was effective in taking a building to a new level.


The dining Table



The Clock

I have made a clock that represents power to put in the meeting place. I feel that by having 9 clocks all showing times around the world it shows that the clients are in control of the world as they have power in many countries. 

The Elevator #1

I designed this elevator to look like a pod, it has an organic shape and flow to it. This reflects Madonna's concern for the environment. I was influenced by many of Madonna's costumes and outfits which are very modern.
