UT Environment Image Captures and Descriptions


Jobs' office space. The monumentally large and rectalinear shape of the space reflect Jobs' power and outlook on the world. He proudly looks out to the outside underneath his moving "keys" that are the main interface that he has with his work. The clean simplicity of the environment reflects Apples products like the Ipod and IMac computers.

The meeting place and elevator
Steve Jobs - the quarry space - reflects Jobs power - direct impact on society and the environment through his work in the production of electrical products.

Zhang Yin's environment that floats mystically above the bridge. It represents Yins power - indirect but still significant in the global scale.

The movement of the mystical forms represent Yins power and reflects the physical qualities of a falling peice of paper - twisting, floating, rising, falling.

Table


Jobs (simple rectalinear shapes on glass) on left, Yin (newspaper imbedded in glass) on right. The table is simple and functional reflecting the clients work in thier separate industries. The equal distribution of space brings the clients together on the same level despite thier differences.

A Bit of Inspiration - The Illawarra Fly Skywalk Bridging Structure






Went to this treetop walk last weekend and was inspired by the bridging structure and the way it allowed for me to gain a new perspective of the surrounding environment - from above. It was an incredible feeling looking down through the structure to the ground several metres below. One of the key aspects i gained from the walk was the sounds - The creeking of the steel construction and the rushing and whistling wind around the structure that intensifies and you climb higher into the sky. I decided i wanted to replicate this feeling in my Unreal design by applying ambient sounds to my environment that changes when you move from the outside to the inside environments.

A Bit of Inspiration - The Bering Strait Bridge


I found this video on the Bering Strait Bridge and thought it related well to this task - especially the part about connection asia with north america - therefore a connection between my two clients Zhang Yin and Steve Jobs. The bridge would have effects on thier individual power through improved communication and transportation of resources as well as the world on economic, social and cultural levels.
