Unreal Draft 1

Since i lost my old draft model, this is a new draft that I have made which demonstrates how i experiment with the bridge.

I found out that the appropriate height for a human scale building would be about 160 units, while the bridge can approximately cut out spaces for 3 floors.




Old/Lost Draft:






Client Mashup

Even more than when she’s performing on stage, Donatella Versace passion for garbage comes through when she talks about the years she spent driving around the United States in a used Dodge Caravan minivan, begging Steven P. Jobs to give her his own company in 1978.
"I remember what Mr. Jobs told me back then," Versace said. "He said, 'Visit Zhang Yin in Florence and rent garbage from her and ship it to China.’”
It changed the course of Donatella's destiny forever. One day, when Donatella was renting garbage, she found the world’s “thinnest” scrap computer. She later founded computer company Versace and introduced the VersaBook Paper, which was just a Core 2 Duo microprocessor covered in corrugated cardboard. The business got her a lot of money. Late last year, she was already the wealthiest person
in the world.

Final Model

Finalized Model and Electroliquid Aggregation



Electroliquid Aggregation:

Nightingale:

“Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.”

+

Goodall:

"Only if we understand can we care. Only if we care will we help. Only if we help shall they be saved."

=

"the world would improve only if we understand, help, care, and always be discontended with the sufferings of the world."


FINALIZED MODEL




Nightingale Space:


The irrational shapes in constructing the Nightingale Space refers to the discontent of form within the area, which in turn makes it unique.







Nightingale ramp:

The meaningless block masses along the Nightingale ramp suggests discontent with meaning for structures.







Meeting Area:



Goodall ramp:


Goodall Space:


The Goodall space here splits into 3 levels, and corresponds to the gradual evolution from understanding, to helping and caring.









My Final Model is based on the 2 axometrics:
