I also include a video demo on how operate the elevators:

Lady Gaga:

K- to go down the valley
J- to go up (make sure the character is standing in the middle of the elevator to avoid crashing with the terrain, as shown in the video)
H- to move the elevator back to its initial position




Jonathan Ive:

Week 12: Final Draft

Gaga's space is on the left, having a very bizarre form(which suits her appearance in entertainment industry), gigantic enough seemingly engulfing Ive's space on the right.(Gaga is higher profile than Ive) Ive's space has this large tall tower that seems to be protecting a smaller tower behind it. (explaining that Ive is a low profile but important man behind the success of a big iconic product: iPhone, iPad etc.) <-- same idea carry on from 1st draft.





The structure of the bridge will change as the two clients are going to meet together for a lunch and discuss ideas. For Lady Gaga's space, the huge horn will hide itself showing that she is no longer in her office (her threathening influence to Jonathan Ive's is gone). For Ive's space, the gigantic tall tower will submerge into the ground, revealing Ive's office behind. The tower no longer needs to protect Ive anymore since he is away from his office. The meeting space will then rise up as the huge horn goes down, suggesting Gaga has the upper hand of influence to the world comparing to Ive. Both the client's space will be connected by the main bridge signalling the meeting is about to take place.



Gaga's elevator has a form of an organ which will rotate around her as she sits the elevator. It gives her a feeling of being surrounding by her fans, paparazi and the world seems to revolve around her, which further emphasize her as a media hottest icon.




Ive's elevator has a form of microchip, which powers the lighting of the bridge as he sits. However, the elevator will need the small "legs" to attached to it in order to move. This echo with Ive's success has to do with the teamwork he has in his designing team. The elevator was given a huge transparent window which enable Ive's far vision of future technology to go unobstructed.



As for the dining table, Gaga's side will open like how peacocks open their beautiful feathers. This suggest how proud Gaga is with her music and bizzare with her costume. Ive's side will slide into boxes as it opens. This idea come with the interface of iPhone. ("slide to unlock" and those little boxes are like the apps appearing on the screen.) User friendly technology by Ive. Also notice the different heights of the table top and with a row seats. This allows the two clients a freedom to choose where to sit, how high or low to sit. This mean that sometimes Ive feels like he has a very huge idea to share, he would like to choose to sit at a higer position. (in control) And sometimes Gaga feels like she is stuck in composing her music, she might wanna sit at a lower position. (reflecting the down of her life). Sitting at different heights might offer distinctive perspectives and ideas generated each time the clients meet up.

The Bridge.

The 2 clients chosen are Lady Gaga and Jonathan Ive. Gaga's space is on the right, having a very bizarre form(which suits her appearance in entertainment industry), gigantic enough seemingly engulfing Ive's space on the left.(Gaga is higher profile than Ive) Ive's space has this large tall tower that seems to be protecting a smaller tower behind it. (explaining that Ive is a low profile but important man behind the success of a big iconic product: iPhone, iPad etc.)

Lady Gaga's space.

Her elevator.

The elevator has the form of organ that will raise up as she enters. This echo the reaction she will get when she enters the stage, all her fans will stood up and cheers for her. Her appearance makes you feel uneasy sitting down.

Jonathan Ive's space.

His elevator.

The elevator takes the form of a microchip. When enter, those small little block around it will move in and attached to the elevator to power it. This coheres with the idea of Ive's today success is dependant on the teamwork of his design team. The form of microchip gives us an idea of small things that change the advancement of technology. (relating to iPod, iPhone.)

The dining table.

Ive will be sitting on the left and Gaga on the right. The two table legs having distinct size gives the idea of the relationship between the two clients. The large curve leg of course symbolize Gaga's celebrity like influential, and seems to be devouring the smaller cylinder leg representing Ive's low profile.
