Image Captures




The Dining table and chairs bring together the powerful curves of Oprah's Space and the rigidness of Ive's office into a final product that relates the the architectural flow of the bridge.






Venturing from the centre of the bridge out, the scale of elements increase. The beholder is overcome by the increase in proportions as they venture closer to the respective clients office. This gradual increase belittles the beholder, drawing attention to the power of Both Oprah And Jonathan Ive




Oprahs Bridge and office relies on overshadowing curves to give a sense that there is always someone or something above you, looking down on you. Hence Oprahs space is set above the ground level in the centre of the stucture. her elevation and ability to look down on those entering her space compliments her  poweful status.




Like The products Jonathan Ive designs this side of the bridge brings together components of different shapes and sizes to form a unique and sleek product.
As the bridge forms a whole, although it appears as there are alternate routes to his office, there is only one, which suffocates the beholder as they get closer to his office, giving an overpowering presence as you get closer to the offices. 



The Design

Oprahs office space draws focus to the use of strong curves to portray power. Curves represent a feminine approach to her design and evoke her rise to power and dominance as a female. This is replicated in the terrain on her side of the valley, where the landscape has smoother and more balanced curves.

Ive's Office space reflects his work for apple in proportions that deem powerful. Similiar to his design for apple his office space and bridge bring together different "components" that work together to form a well represent final product. Again his landscape is more rugged and uses harsher curves in the landscape.

In Both Designs clients offices are raised well above the bridge level and entance, allowing both Oprah and Ive to "look down" on their surroundings.

Hopefully buttons worked with Sandbox game mode, if not. please assume lifts operate as shown in video :)

Textures & Peer Evaluation





Brigde Drafts


Second Draft:
Lacked architectural flow




This was my first draft. 

Positives: concepts of Oprahs space and Ives space were identifiable in the design
Negatives: its seemed to lack continuity and flow in the concept, as bits were thrown around just as additions to the design that lacked meaning. (the middle meeting area had no connection to Ive and Oprah)

Valley Inspiration - Rocky Mountains


Some draft playups in sandbox






These images represent what textures i will try achieve in my valley, however in sync with my idea of global warming and climate change, you would have to imagine that the rivers below have risen and only mountain peaks are visible.



Article Mash-Up



All hail the new queen She has not only made it to the top with the cards stacked against her,but she has also made extraordinary contributions to our global community through design prowes and with his perfection.

What does this mean for the long list of companies. ? having single-handedly reinvigorated culture, they have some reason to hope.

It has often been said that if the Commander ruled the world for the next 100 years, we'd all be better off. I have a feeling that with the possibilities at her fingertips, she may be one step closer to grossing $200 million by the time Apple unveiled the first computer made out of titanium

the private leader spoke passionately about courage, faith, intuition and how he revolutionized the news.

Despite countless invitations, he refused to trumpet his own design prowess or to dish on what it's like to work with his perfection, Her songs are like brain candy (sticky and addictive), her performances and fashion style are a spectacle.

In summary. Meet the most influential people in the world. They are artists and activists, reformers and researchers, heads of state and captains of industry. Their ideas spark dialogue and dissent and sometimes even revolution.

Early Ideas EXP 3







This is a concept drawing. It relates to rising water levels. Due to global warming and climate change.......eventually buildings will have to be built above water.  thus creating valleys of buildings or spaces above water.

Final Post Experiment 2


Wharves on either side of the island are access points for both Newton and Freud to the Island. Paths lead from each wharf to the meeting structure.




 In contrast to some of the darker spaces, the open veranda provides a space of clarity and achievement that reflects a final solution to a common problem.


 The Addition of a ramp from an upper to lower space elaborates the sense of collaboration and accessibility of each level whereby freud and Newton's ideas can be shared.



A cave like shell represents a darker space where both freud and Newton gain a sense of minimal social conduct.

Experiment 2 - week 1






Above Crysis War shots and model have been developed from this axonometric sketch


Newton:  "concentration on education reduces social conduct"






Freud: "Everything anyone does is driven in some way by a subconscious sexual disire"


Freud: "The Best approach to a problem is through collaboration"




Agnesi: "People who know more than one language talk more often"




Agnesi: "A good start leads to a good finish"


Newton: "Newtons theories of light allowed us to gain further insight into the universe"
