EXP 3- Final Elevators

BARACK OBAMA:
  • LEADERSHIP/INFLUENCE

These images are of Obama's elevator, which was designed based on the ideas of leadership and influence. Obama stands in the centre, surrounded by columns of varying widths and lengths. These are representative of people of different races, age groups and genders who require Obama's guidance and leadership. The curved arches that extend at varying angles and directions suggest that these people are 'reaching out' for help, showing how influential a world leader like Obama can be to them.

MIUCCIA PRADA:
  • EXTRAVAGANCE/SUCCESS

Unlike Miuccia Prada's office, which shows her simplistic personality and appearance, this elevator overturns this side of her. As a powerful and innovative fashion designer, one would think that she is flashy and highly fashionable. Thus, this elevator is not as conservative as the space in which I have created for Prada. Also, by creating a complex piece of geometry, it suggests that Prada belongs to a complicated business, which had not faced success immediately, but rather over decades of establishment and hard work.
