Final Submission

Obama Space

The architecture that symbolises the orb of the statue of liberty, symbolism of power and control. Obama's concept was of military power and control which was then highlighted s the structure grows taller as a symbolism of powerfulness. The control was shown through the presence of different levels of the building from low to high with bigger surface to smaller showing dominance of the leader. 





The Meeting Space

Usage of the covering layers around the architecture to highlight that both clients were supported by the people to have great powers. Open space were also to highlight the wide range of powers that both clients carries.









Prada's space:

Usage of custom texture to form movement throughout the surface.

Sketch Up Models and Link





The Meeting space

Surrounded by "forest of shield" that signifies powers of clients are of the people.








Prada's office space

Presence of elegant and simple shapes shows the traits of Prada's design. Power of Prada's design were formed through the usage of elegant fashion design for the people. Hence, the presence of lot of "branches" shows the presence of Prada in creating a feminine and powerful fashion industry.







Obama's office.

This is to show the overall shape of the Obama office as it was inspired by the statue of liberty where the building forms an orb where different layering of tubes were used to focus the elevators at different movements but all was controlled and in the end focused at Obama's office at the top. The power of Obama was formed by the presence of democratic purpose, hence the layering of glass surrounding the building is to show the protection and support by people.

I had focused on using sketchup for making the overall shape of the building. This caused a very big problem for me as the importing of the surfaces were always having problems even though i had done a lot of tries of changing shapes and overlaying or even intersecting.. it just wont work..
