Final Model~

The cone shaped tunnel that protrudes from the wall symbolises how Versace still thinks of her brother and that he still has an influence on her designs although not directly.  It is like he looking at her from above and helping her and guiding her to become this famous and powerful business woman and designer.

There are meant to be lights inside the bridge which shows the texture but with the lights the program kept crashing when i was rebuilding all.  The idea was how jobs has been able to contain and control complicated technology and presented it to us in a very simple form which has engulfed and given him the power to change the way we live today. 

Although the lighting did not exactly work and show the base clearly the idea behind the table base is how our world is "wrapped" and contained by people with power.  It is because of these people that some sort of control and order can be obtained in our complex world.

The hole made from the cone in Versace's office helps emphasise the power these two business people have.  The hole with the two round spotlights suggests a golf course which is deemed as the playground of the elite.

Mash Up~

[She's] a college drop out who once backpacked around India looking for spiritual enlightenment and her low profile has helped her remain largely unknown over the past years.  But, fast-forward to present-day, she is now the Vice-President of the Versace Group and the Chief Designer, overseeing a dozen collections every year.  But don't let the black mock turtleneck and denim trousers fool you, the 49-year-old born on May 2, 1955, made it clear that she was better suited to be more involved in the design aspect of the business.  It may have been her older brother who founded the Versace fashion empire, but as a canny CEO who knows how to sell product, she has had a hand in its success from the very beginning.  She said she started her career at a "golden period" but the American and former model defied financial hardships, cheating business partners and intimidation from local mafia, shooting up more than 70% over the past year, to build up her wealth to pursue her dream of becoming the "empress of waste paper".  Explain her success sounds a little like a CEO doing her job, maybe that's because she is- and a mighty fine one that is revered by tech and design geeks alike.  But the world's business-school students may have the most to learn from her.

Final Environment~

Black Hole: usage in design described below

 

Final Environment was based on this sketch:

My last two UT2004 files got corrupted and so this is the third last version I had saved.  I had not finished adding textures and I'm not sure if the ramp was fixed in the Stephen Hawking's environment or not.  

Top view of the shared area

Inside of the maze like area of Stephen Hawkings.  This area reflects the complicated ideas he deals with and the cramped maze of the interior suggests the difficulties he might have with his disability.

Two views of the entire environment (above and below).  Stephen Hawking's environment is a lot more complicated which reflects his ideas and works while Jane Goodall's environment is quite simple which suggests her research into primates which are meant to be the basis and "simple" version of humans.

This cone shape combines with the maze of rooms to give an overall suggestion of a well known picture of a blackhole (shown at beginning of post).  The way the cone continues on through the joint area and through Jane Goodall's environment connects the two different ideas, thus reflecting my electroliquid aggregation quote.
