A brief tour and explanations for the map

The full view of the map...

Prada's sign on the outside of the bridge
The meeting place, Madonna's elevator, elevator for Madonna's dancers, and the top view of Madonna's office are visible from this view...
I used my own textures for Prada's surface and the floor for meeting place...
The texture for Prada's surface indicates the fashion trend....it's not always straight line and has different direction. The textures for the meeting place is bean-like, the shapes surrounds each other. I think that's how the two clients work, they need to cooperate each other, tolerate with each other to make good works.


Prada's design team's office...with mannequins and drawing/working tables.


I also put some simple wardrobe for the team to store their works. The gold mannequin is for final works which will be viewed by Prada. The gold clothes hanger in the middle is also for final works...when there are too many, the team can hang the works on the gold clothes hanger.

The outside view from design team's office...
This image also shows parts of the design team elevator which will lead them to their relaxing space and part of Madonna's elevator in the meeting space...

The bottom of Prada's space is visible...with my own textures....I use the funky looking texture's for the inner floor of Prada's office because the way she design and the things she design is 'sort of' out of the trend. Also she has said in one of her interview that she does not want to see anything that is not new....This texture gives me the feeling of changing and new therefore I used it for her space.

The meeting table in meeting space...

It is made of spheres and circles...like I said because I want to balance the power of the two clients instead of one taking over another. I lifted it up by doubling the same shape and place it one on the other...because I do not want to put chairs for this table.
The reason for no chairs is because although this is a place for the two clients to two about their works, it is also a place for them to relax and have something to eat... sitting down one opposites another gives me a feeling of stressing.
In result of that thinking I figured it might be better to give them a round shape and let them choose wherever they want to sit instead specifying where to sit.
The sitting place is big enough for the two clients to sit or lie on it...which can be seen in the image.


The mover for Madonna's elevator and the cover of the meeting place...
I used the inspiration from the video of Ayumi's concert and made a sphere-shape opening for the elevator...
Although the two clients' power need to be balanced...Madonna is a star...She deserves/requires a significant and awsome entrance when she is working...
This contrasts with Prada... who is known to be her 'shyness' in her fashion show...different to common designer who walk out from the backstage and thank the audiences...Prada prefers to hide in the backstage and only have small peaks during the show instead of coming out...
Therefore comparing with Madonna, Prada's entrance from her office to the meeting place is not as special as Madonna.


Two images show the moving covering for the meeting place...the covering is for the change of weather...that is raining ...

The side view of the four spaces...

The relaxing space for design team and dancers... they share one...

The over-sized stairs are not for walking but for the people to sit on them when they are relaxing or eating...
