EXP 3 FINAL - Images

UT2004 environment



Donatella Versace



-The composition of large masses of blocks highlights a sense of exaggeration which symbolises Versace's view on power

-The contrast in the interior and exterior wall demonstrates a sense of superficiality, reflecting Versace's personality as she values the superficial aspects of power


Zhang Yin

- The path of the elevator is long and complicated, demonstrating Zhang Yin's arduous journey

-Zhang Yin's space is built on a series of square sheets which gradually decreases to nothing towards the bottom. This symbolises the idea of poverty which Zhang Yin endured and had overcome, obtaining power

Meeting place


- The curves in the table which Versace and Yin shares represents their feminity and the rectangular, metal structure which fastens it to the rectangular bar highlights the strength and power they obtain

Mashup

After economic change got under way in China in the early 1980s, she moved to the southern coastal city of Shenzhen, which must have prompted at least one fellow traveler to think that Barbie was on board. There she started working for a foreign-Chinese joint venture paper trading company, With roughly a dozen purple cases in tow — one bag each for dresses, shoes and accessories — she can think of nothing grander than traveling with it. Jobs is moving in that direction, too, but it appears that he wants to control his device much more closely than his competitors do.

If the iPhone succeeds commercially, it will be new proof of Jobs's power and his influence over the proud owner of a vast set of matched pink leather luggage. She has not lost her ambition, though. Ms. Versace isn’t eager to give up other indulgences while she can afford them. Sometimes called the Queen of Trash, she doesn't disown the title. But, she said, "Some day, I'd like to be known as the queen of containerboards."

Apple's new iPhone appears to be the clearest statement yet of what Steve Jobs's impact has been in the world of paper companies, and yet it says it cannot keep up with demand for container board, the material used to make boxes, because of the booming growth in the Chinese economy and exports. “It gives a sense of security, of luxury, or being treated well,” she said. It is not that he invents new technologies. He refines existing ones.

Florence Nightingale
-The "levels" are constructed in the style of an irregular staircase. Hence it forces the walker to descend down to the ramp, contributing to the importance of physical effort over words in the ElectroLiquid Aggregation quote
- The plainness of the ramp conveys how a goal or a destination can be as simple as one straight line
Stephen Hawkins

-The space is seperated into two levels, encouraging the walker to physically explore around the space.
-As the ceiling is dark, the columns seem to stretch out and never stop. Hence this emphasis on movement relates back to the quote

-The columns are situated in a v-shape which provides a welcoming effect to the walker, luring them in to seek the knowledge and truth behind the columns, with the mysterious effect created by the soft lighting




Filefront link:

Brad,

I dont know why but filefront won't let me upload it.
So I just uploaded it onto a different server.
Also i zipped the file, so u need to unzip it when u open it.
The folder is called "EXP 2" and my UT2004 map (which is inside the zipped folder) is called "WAI_NATALIE_ARCH1101_EXP2"

Meeting Spot
-Simple design of space: Creates a barrier -free environment for both clients to inter-relate to each other, despite their contrasting backgrounds and ideas.
-Lowered platform in the middle: Allows a variety of use. For example, both clients can sit on the sides to chat, or they could also utilise the large space in the middle to do practical work. This platform also decreases the need for other things such as furniture, allowing the meeting spot to seem spacious and tidy.
-The effect of lighting: The bright side of the platform represents Nightingale and the "dark" side represents Hawkins. This creates a sense of "marking their spot".

Quotes

Florence Nightingale
"You ask me why I do not write something.... I think one's feelings waste themselves in words, they ought all to be distilled into actions and into actions which bring results. "

Stephen Hawkins
"My goal is simple. It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all."

Electroliquid Aggregation


To achieve a goal, to reach a level of complete understanding is simple, only when words are distilled into actions, as it is actions which brings results
