REAL TIME IMAGE CAPTURES

Obama

The powerful structure that embraces this office gives a supportive aesthetic and feel, similar to that of the bone structure of a human spine/ribcage. Whilst occupying this space, Obama will feel the comfort of this structure, similar to the comforting support the USA is experiencing from the new leadership of Obama.

The Meeting Place

The meeting place is designed so that the client offices' and the lift structure can be observed whilst occupying all spaces. With the lift representing our unstable world that is in need of constant improvement, the powerful clients can sit, view the lift and discus ways of using their power to make the world a better place.

Madonna

The intruding forces represent the media and the world that are constantly consumed in her day to day affairs. As she ascends to the upper level of her office, she is able to rise above and away from these, to a space where she is comfortable, to go about her business.

Our clients wield incredible power due to their inherited fame. They hold a remarkable level of influence and power, giving them political capital, influential control over society fashion and style and stimulate millions of dollars in sales. Their lucrative careers, in some degree come from the understanding of society and what is really important at this moment. Keeping this balance of power is a tough act for these celebrities to deal with. Their people-pleasing aesthetics requires constant reinventing and transformational challenges.

Developed UT2004 Environment

Keith Campbell's space 'in front of the vertical surface'

Exterior of Keith Campbell's laboratory

The idea behind this building was to create symmetry within its components by replicating parts over and over, which was in direct reference to the concept of cloning.

Client meeting space 'on the vertical surface'

Meeting point exterior

Here you can also see one of Alfred Nobel's consealed rooms hidden behind the metal bars to the left.

Meeting Point interior

The idea behind this concept was to create a space where they could meet and discuss matters of human existence and ways to make it better. The structure of the space is based on the symbolic shape of a cross, with this representing life and health, and a place where they would both feel comfortable in discussing these issues.

Alfred Nobel's space 'behind a vertical surface'

Alfred Nobel's laboratory interior

I went about creating Nobel’s space with one thing in mind, his legacies, the Nobel Peace Prize and dynamite. I could not help but focus the structure of my design on the irony of these legacies. The quote I found by Nobel states the he invented dynamite to ‘abide the world by golden peace’, when in fact he started a new era in warfare. This ‘irony’ is incorporated into the layout of the different rooms, stairs, ramps and hallways, with them being the opposite too what is expected and therefore ironic.

Alfred Nobel's Laboratory interior

Alfred Nobel was dubbed the “merchant of death”, and I believe he would have lived a very hidden life. This is evident in his legacy the ‘Nobel Peace Prize’, which he left behind, so that he would known for contributing some good to society, rather than creating a new and more efficient way to kill. This was incorporated into the concealed, closed design of his hallways and rooms. As in my eyes he would have been more comfortable in spaces such as these.
