Final Video
Story: Lady Gaga and Jonathan Ives is going to have a meeting on top roof of Empire State building to discuss about their future combined designs.
Each client gets picked up in a helicopter from where their studio is located (outside of NYC, at each end side of the bridge) to go to the meeting place. Because the helicopters cannot land on the building.
They have to stop by on the top roof of the bridge where their custom designed elevators are located. Each customized elevators take clients to the top level of Empire State building.

Exp 3. 9. Final images
The idea of Power from the two client (Jonathan Ives and Lady Gaga)
that ive tried to explore was their strong recognition, acceptance and awareness from the public.
Firstly I chose New York City, not only because it is the Lady Gaga's origin city and Jonathan Ives is currently living there, because New York City is the one of cities which create the worlds culture every seconds. I thought those two clients bridge has to be easily visualised, strongly recognised and influential to the users. This idea got me to have the bridge goes over the New York City from one island to another (about 5k long), Similar height to State Empire Building (about 350m), Multi-levels for New York City traffic circulation (which also can mean those two clients are able to control the public). In order to do that, i had to design the entire New York City which will give the powerful background for the bridge, beside New York City is the most chosen landscape by students, it wont be good unless someone do differently.
Additionally i tried the best to make this environment looks realistic to reinforce the fact that those two clients' power is real.
I designed Jonathan's Apple store by 3Ds Max software to create minimal organic shape that i've developed by learning about Jonathan's design and his mind set. Through 3Ds Max, it got me wasted load of time since i had big issues with importing it to Crysis war.
Lady Gaga's initial studio was made in 3Ds Max as well but it came to the point that i have to give up on it as the object Ive designed wont be imported neither sketchup and crysis war. The new one is hers studio/gallery building that i designed in Sketchup. The images of herself in the gallery provides her own contemporary fashion taste and her cultural identity which has been powerfully influenced the public.
Those two studios for each client are located at the end of the bridge each side, under the bridge on the ground level. so technically their studios arent on the bridge but i did that on purpose to say that they are just ordinary people like us. Their skills and ideas might be powerful but they are just people.
5 arent enough since my map is massive and much to show.
Exp 3. 8. Elevators and a Table.
Jonathan's Elevator
Made in 3Ds Max
I personally think that Jonathan has power through his ideas of designing Apple products.
I've researched what would be his main keys for designing.
Simplicity, Functionality and uniqueness.
so it came up with organic shape with a transparent part pushed inside,
where you can see through down when it moves as an unique function.
all together
Lady Gaga's Elevator
I think Lady Gaga's power is much about communication visually.
so I thought wherever client stands in the elevator, it should be shown from outside.
The elevator has 2 triangle shape sides where you can see through,
which can works as a display window to show her fashion style to public.
Table
Elevators and the meeting places
If you are wondering how would two clients get up on the top roof of the bridge to take an elevator, there is a helicopter sitting just out side of their each studio.
so each of them get picked up by a helicopter to the top roof and go to the meeting place (Empire State Building), as helicopters aren't able to land on the building.
Gaga's elevator is located on the left side, top roof of the bridge.
Ives's elevator is located on the right side, top roof of the bridge.
Their meeting place with a table is located on the top roof of Empire State building.
Why is meeting place up on top level of Empire State Building.
I wanted to portray that these two clients think everything differently with their power.
so like, the way they dress, the way they design.
I tried to transform that into my environment design.
: the way they take helicopters to the bridge,
the way elevators are set up on the bridge to the meeting place and
the way the meeting place is located on the top roof of Empire State building.
It can be only done because they are powerfully creative, rich and unique.

# LadyGaGa
Power, is that something that you can say you have it or something only others can recognise it from you.
"My new album was written with this new instinctural energy that ive gained from my fans who accepted me. They protect me, so i protect them" Lady GaGa.
People like Lady Gaga, Jonathan Ives and Ophra Winfley, their power is influencing on the public socially, financially and politically. I believe power is created when others relate to it in some ways, for example Oprah who has shaken the world socially. Her show was more than a daytime television program. She was an institution. She used her wealth to bring positive change and become one of the richest, most powerful people in the world with that highest-rated talk show "The Oprah Winfly show" and even though the show wont go on, but Oprah's influence will. The power she has got wasnt the show, was herself which has recognised by the public. Jonathan Ive, the man who designed the iPod and many more of Apple’s most iconic products and they have shaken up both the music and the electronics industry which the public mostly relate to commonly. He share the minimalist philosophy and language of design to the public which lead him number 3 Rank as British who is the most Influence in America. His Minimalism philosophy is "There's only as much form as is needed to utterly get out of the way of fuction"
Lady Gaga, the first artist to have 1 billion video views online and her fashion choices consisently creat buzz from the public. Her power is creating new concepts of her music or fashion that can be accepted into the main stream. The strategy she has is paying off for a bigger career, to become an even bigger star and be able to spread the influence culturally, artistically and even politically. so Her fan base is so massive called little monsters in fact she has more than 7 million Twitter followers and more friends on Facebook than even President Barack Obama.
Strong public acceptance = Power.
