EXP 3: Draft 1 - Images

Meeting place: this extends over the rock and will frame the horizon creating a neutral space where both Lady Gaga ad Oprah will feel that they can equally express their power. Neither one has any influences that will dominate the space.


Gaga's lift


Oprah's lift


Bridge/ Meeting Place: the bridge is an extension from both of the offices that will meet in the middle over a large rock. The bridge section will be influenced by Gaga on the left and Oprah on the right so that on the journey they will feel their sense of power, once they reach the meeting place the architecture will be neutral. 

EXP 3: 36 Movement Textures


These are the 3x textures used in my final model:

This "directional" texture was used for Gaga's lift and for Gaga's chair at the dining table. It represents her personality which can come across as being very out there and not exactly have a clear direction, rather one that seems a bit 'all over the place'. 

This "flowing" texture was used for the meeting place. The bold distinction between the shapes creates a dual attitude to the texture. Looking at just the black or just the white space you can see two different patterns that work together which perfectly represents the type of actions required in the meeting place.

This "flowing" texture was used for Oprah's lift and Oprah's chair at the dining table. The soft curves of the shape represent Oprah while at the same time suggesting a softness and calm flow.
