EXP3: Final Model

Landscape:
The inspiration of the landscape basically derives from rainbow valley, which is well known for its scenic sandstone bluffs and cliffs. The deserted and despairing appearance of the environment sets the vigorous bridge off, thereby enhancing the power of this bridge.



The Fusion With Environment:
It links up the valley and extends the sky lines as it it is part of the valley.



Merkel's Office:
Merkel's office consists of several thin geometric solids and it ends up by higher solids which are transparent in all directions (refer to the SketchUp model). Since Merkel is a great pragmatic politician who needs comprehensive insight and the capacity to compromise different forces, this simple form may demonstrate her such a strong power.



Kerr's Office:
Her office is comprised of two independent spaces in different level and a separate catwalk. Based on her model background and amiable personality, rectangle prisms with smooth corner are used, which represent her graceful body and easy going. These spaces are guided by the parallelly linear roof windows, she, therefore, can experience the catwalk feeling even just in her office. Furthermore, the outdoor nature sight from impending catwalk may provide her a fancy experience of performance.



Dining Table:
The dining table not only responds to the form of the bridge, but, which is more important, suggests a significant movement inspired by the two clients. One side starts from single and small elements and moves to a united shape, whcih stands for Merkel's power to "steer Germany through some difficult times"; while the opposite side implies Kerr's power to maintain every single part of her body and show her best side to the public.



Merkel's Elevator:
The location of this elevator appears like the joint and axis of this bridge. It handles the shift of Merkel's office. Just like the way that Merkel lead Germany. Again, the window is opening to the grand panoramas which allow Merkel to experience the changing perspectives when she rides the elevator.



Kerr's Elevator:
Kerr's elevator is an element of her second level officea and it was applied same texture and color as her office to highlight Kerr's fashion, vitality and health. It connects the office and the catwalk.
