ARCH 1142 MODEL IT_Houses Amalgamation





The extended arm of my first house that is made of balsa wood expresses feeling of embracing the second house.

The second house is made of box board which is darker in color gives sense of strength and heaviness in order to hold the first house up through counterweight.

Submission of Experiment 3_Bridge




The bridge which consists of both Lady Gaga's and Jonathan Ive's working space fits into the huge valley by having one end inserted into the valley wall and another placed on the valley.

Lady Gaga's space with a big ring above, gives an eye-catching effect just like her influence to the community. The wavy floor slab correlates with the wave-like bridge. Besides, it also echoes that her influence is as powerful as wave.


A spider-web like staircase is fitted into Gaga's working place which also resembles the idea of power as spider-web is strong in way of capturing prey.


High interaction between spaces in Lady Gaga's office, catering to the fact that one would want to proceed up through the spaces from bottom level (level with spider staircase), reinforcing the high interaction with her fans.


Jonathan's working place as viewed from the rear is presented in a intruding way. This shows his low profiled characteristic as the man behind the iconic brand.

As compared to Gaga's office, there is less interaction between spaces as both the level of spaces are stable and hold one's intention to stay.
Jonathan's idea of being magical is also presented here by making no staircase between the two floors and imposing curiosity on how one could walk through the spaces.


The round tables and chairs with circular line pattern form ripple-like pattern. This denotes his power propagates in a quiet way (low profile).

Meeting room with Jonathan's seat at the middle shows his importance towards the iconic brand- Apple.

Submission of Experiment 3_ Elevators_Change of Perspective


Jonathan Ive





The rising rings which protect Jonathan from the beholders' views symbolize his low-profiled characteristic.

crysis_key: o - open the hole
k - elevator

Using the i-Phone's home button symbol supports the general thinking that Apple gives fame to Jonathan. However, when the rings fall, the square-like 'steering' is revealed and thus reveal the truth that Jonathan is the main one who drives the path of the brand instead.


Lady Gaga



The arrow-shapes platform is inspired by swallows which always fly in groups in an arrow shape. This may strongly signifies Lady Gaga's leadership and influence in music as well as fashion field.

As compared to Jonathan's elevator, hers is relatively more exposed which resemble her characteristic of high profile.
