From Bridge Final


From Bridge Final

Although Obama is not submissive, in comparison to Madonna, she is overwhelming, as her quarters domineer over both the meeting place and Obama's room, where her ambition is represented as the driving force if the bridge. The shape of her building, although predominantly orthogonal, in expression of her bluntness, includes curves to still inhibit her feminity.




From Bridge Final

The meeting place for Obama and Madonna was, even though was covered by the coloured lights of Madonna, held a place of serenity in the middle where they both could reside peacefully between them. The table, uses Obama's sense of equality where both need to be sitting upon it for it to be balanced and feasable to work on.



From Bridge Final

Barrak Obama's room is made of the balance of white and grey to show a sense of equality and cooperation which reflects his own methods of power relationships with other. His room holds within a spherical theatre, where similar to Greak theatres, each person has a right of say. The three way stairs is a representation of his cooperation methods where each need the other's support in order to reach the top.

Invisible surfaces in your static meches?

http://groups.google.com.au/group/arch1101/browse_thread/thread/82cbb17279408790/2626edd47bbc8e60?lnk=gst&q=hayley#2626edd47bbc8e60
if the static meches that you have imported into Unreal have invisible surfaces/faces/planes, all you need to do is:
In your sketchup model, right click the face which would be missing in Unreal and click "reverse face"
Repeat for every face until they are no longer a darker grey colour.
Then Re-Import the meche XD
It shall work
Thanks to Anthony :)


For that helpful hint thing

Elevator or Travellator?

Thinking of having elevators travelling horizontally as well.

- Troubles with static meches where the opposite side of a surface would be transparent and unable to highlight.

Choice

The portrayal of power between the three choices; Madonna, Prada and Barack Obama are all different. Prada emits a culturally dominating, monopolising aura with high estime and influence through fashion, similar to Madonna who is greatly influential through media, however, Obama uses his skills in speaking and knowledge to the people of his country.

The way they use their power is also different, both Prada and Barack Obama work collaboratively with teams where Madonna seems to be, especially when she was younger, an independant and abitious achiever.

I decided to delve deeper into Madonna and Obama

Obama
Ambitious, Steady, Involved, Collaborative, modest, great speaker, influential, open.

Madonna
Ambitious Super MOM, Media, influential, Appears to be controlling, stern, reserved.

Madonna Vs Barack Obama (Mash Up)

We thought her people were just joking. But it soon became apparent that they were deadly serious. We were not to look at them and not to speak until being spoken to. And they’re not likely to quell their growing cadre of critics, their list of demands was not limited only to eye contact, after more than a week of growing criticism, they made it very clear it was off limits.

Since it remained the larger goal for them, they wanted to snub the event altogether. They quietly responded late Thursday evening after they reiterated their support for an update to the responding to the 17,000 supporters.

OLD DO NOT READ - just want it here so I don't lose it
=============================================================
This is not a story about the presidential horse race, taken together, these chronicle the career of Madonna. It’s not about the policy positions of a freshman senator and candidate for national office, but each telling the same story, which is so established and archetypal it verges on folklore: the girl from suburban Detroit. It’s about the enduring character of a boy and a young man, and how that character has emerged in adulthood lived through the memories of which Madonna describes as “grainy and beautiful”. The Barack Obama who wrote so poignantly, when her mother was young and alive; of adolescent alienation when Madonna was six; and the search for racial identity is the same Barack Obama who learned, the hard way, how to deal with the likes of Emil Jones Jr., a man whose cell-phone ring tone is the theme from The Godfather, “You’re aware of a sense of loss, and feel a sense of abandonment”. Obama’s good looks and soft-spoken willingness, plagued by tormented dreams, ponder aloud some of the inanities of modern politics have masked the hard inner core and unyielding ambition that have long burned beneath the surface shimmer, “Children always think they did something wrong when their parents disappear.” He is not, and never has been, soft she told me, because she was the oldest girl in a house filled with eight children and so was pressed into adult service, he’s not laid-back. He’s not an accidental man, where the drudgery, cleaning and wiping and changing, when she was still a child herself has followed her everywhere. His friends and family may be surprised by the rapidity of his rise; beautiful, but punky and strange, but they’re not surprised by the fact of it. “I didn’t fit into the popular group; I wasn’t a hippie or a stoner, so I ended up being the weirdo.”
