Change in Design- sketchup

I made a change to my design due to a loss of work during a freak incident. What I have changed to get my assignment in relatively on time, is that the elevator for Jonathan Ive will now run on top of the bridge without dropping down. It will still start within the building and stop at the same place. Oprah's is the same still.

The meeting point will change now, the dining building was a huuuuuuuge loss to me, as it was heaps detailed and complex with triggers and flowgraphs linked to it. Being lost, I really don't have the time to do it again, so I created a simple one from what I have. The meeting place is now located on top of the bridge where the old elevator is. Now when the person presses the button, it drops down, flips 360º and comes up again to reveal the dining table.


Jonathan Ive

My concepts for his building will be strong, sleek and powerful. Cut into the land sharply, sticking out stubbornly, it shows that his persistence was got got him to where he is today. A building with many components reflecting his powerful mind, an elevator that reflects his products, and a bridge that shows his development to power.

Oprah Winfrey

My concepts for his building will be influence, support, care and safety. A well protected building well rounded for security to display feminism and also Oprah's character of being an all-round loving person. Big bridge with small supports portray how her many fans, insignificant compared to her, through their numbers and support, helped keep Oprah up there in power. The elevator resembles a protective sphere from which the passenger to gaze out to the view of the valley below. The arcs of the building are like protective hands encircling the building, keeping it safe. The very nature of these curves show the influence Oprah has, she just knows how to connect with the people, so likewise, the architecture here flows into each other.

Meeting Point

The meeting point is a neutral point for these clients, defying gravity, depending on the client's bridges to hold up the middle bridge. Floor opens up to reveal elevator going down to the valley floor where the river front dining building is located.


Development of Landscape

First Attempt at making the environment. Unsure which season to implement? So I did a scene around spring time. There is a large waterfall falling down winding down to a river flowing through the trees

Closer shot of the base of the waterfall and one of my elevators. The mountains to the left and right are the locations for my buildings.

I took out the large waterfall, although it sort of looked good, but I wanted to keep as close as I could to the original now. As the river tool is hard to use for elevated slopes, I had to make mini waterfalls to overcome that difficulty. All together, I have three waterfalls so far. This image also shows the placing of Jonathan Ive's office in its space.
