Final model for EXP 3

 Five real time image captures

 

 This is Lady Gaga's office, with a small part exposed to the air, building the architecture with rain together. Meanwhile, rainy days and faint sky pointed out, to some extent, Gaga's style. The elevator is on the left and is vertical.

Here it is Jonathan Ive's office. With a sunny day and cloud floating, it gives a comparison with Gaga. The elevator is on left and is gentle incline. On the ground, It can be seen that the clouds give the shadows.

This is a view of the dining place and the natural bridge below in a far distance.  The called natural bridge is made up of the nature, with no artificial elements. (smile)

An upward view through the hole under the natural bridge towards the blue sky.

A close view of the meeting and dining space. Through the glazing roof, the dining table can be seen with shadow by sunlight clearly. The snowflakes again give a comparison, with the sunlight. 

Furthermore, the original valley draft is the death valley in USA, which inspiring the relationship between life and death, and other contraries or comparisons. Ive and Gaga are a pair of good choice which provides a sequence of contrasts, such as spiritual and scientific. Perhaps they are not contrary but still can be compared. Bridge is good idea, for communication, for conflict, and for other things which may occur between the two which are not the same.

From Gaga's office, it can be seen the clouds through quarter glazing roof. The black and white stairs are inspired by the piano and the vertical elevator is form Gaga's style. There is a special thing that when going to the dining place, there are two elevators, one from the original office and another one fro the dining place. The situation is the same to Ive.

In fact, the two elevators from the meeting place are indeed the dining table, divided into two parts. The glazing roof can also be moved in order to enable the dining table to traveling to the offices. 

A visit to Ive's office, also by two elevators. Ive's office looks much more official as he is a designer as well as a scientist. (smile)
