Week 12 Studio EXP3

Final Design Submission

Here shows an image of all three spaces. It shows of Zhang Yin's space as separated and elevated from everyone else as she only has one goal...

To become the best in her industry, as she does nothing except look up, the skys the limit. Thus her space and elevator is designed to have a heavy base but open top thus emphasising her vision to become greater.

Her elevator leads her back down to reality as panels allow her to subtley look down to those below her, until she reaches the meeting space with Ratan Tata. This space shows the different interpretation of power they both possess. Yin 's side is more enclosed, more private and elevated, while Tata's is vast, open and space dominating.


Coming back down from Tata's elevator allows a great view of the lower grounds in which his vision lies. This great perspective alines itself with Tata's power, the control and dominion of the lower levels.



From the ground up, his space is seen as monunental as to show his power, but also reachable and relatable unlike Yin's. Ramps allow passage from the ground to Tata's space and ramps and windows allow Tata maximised observation while in his space or walking around it.

Captures Zhang Yin's initial space, light construction, made up of multiple of components to show her build up of wealth, control and power.



Captures both space in the frame, also shows the scope Yin has as a result of her elevated perspective.















Shows Ratan Tata's space as monumental, but located close to the ground, close to the 'lower part of the pyramid'.
But his space is also very open providing great view for observation
as he plans for the future of those below him.

Week 7 Studio Experiment 2

Final UT Design

Outer design gives sense of variation, ease for adaptation, as the overall design is some-what symmetrical, as well as facilitating various modes movement, ramps, stairs etc.

The designs suscetiblity to change is further complimented by the three different entry points to the inner space, as well as the different methods of reaching them, eg. ramps, jumping off ledges.

Inner space displays room for observation, from a high vantage point, the tower on the far corner.



Allows speculation to the size and proportion of the space.




As well as, the depth of the space, especially in proportion to the different levels of the space.





While below, away from the vantage point, speculation is distorted and void, thus no real observation can be finalised.

Week 6 Studio Experiment 2

Draft UT Environment

Outside: Hawking's quote on intelligence as adapting to change, thus a symmetrically shaped platform is designed.

Inside: Darwin's quote on seculation and observation inspires the space to have an elevated platform loking over a secondary space and finally the ground floor.
