Task for Thursday

This machinima trailer portrays the idea that explosives have a mass effect, where they might start off a lot of small explosions only to grow to a exponential scale. When two forces are in opposition it seems almost a competition that drives the growth/size/scale of explosives.
(The constant posting of 'Who can create the biggest explosion?' videos in crysis, crackdown, halo 3 etc.. is almost a testimony to this).

And when they have achieved the absolute maximum force possible, there seems to be only one purpose for it, a means to end all means. In a military sense theres the idea that the victor will probably be the person who can create then biggest 'bang', regardless of casualties and collateral.

Final UT

This is the meeting area, it is built like a Roman structure because Versace is a italian name and company as well as the fact that i felt that it gives the feeling of a place of congregation just like places such as the colossium and other great meeting places in Rome.

Jobs Elevator. This elevator moves in two separate movers to form one elevator that works as one. The base of the idea was that it forms a cage around its occupants and it gives the sense of power to that person by the way in which the cage forms around the occupant.

Versace Elevator. This was constructed from the pillars and came from a Roman architecture approach that was moved forward from curved shapes such as archs and instead uses corners.

Versace Office. I wanted the Versace office to feel spacious and relaxed where there is room to breed creativity. I also made use of commercialising the building by putting "Versace" along the walkway and on the roof.

Steve Jobs office. I gave the office a sort of executive feel because its the kind of power i feel that Jobs wields.

Draft elevators

This elevator is suppose to work like a cage, where the six rectangle layers come down over the base. So i've had to import the pieces separately as movers, but im still looking for a way to move them all at once.
This is the early stages of Versace's elevator, its roof is being formed by idea of iconic 'V' shapes.

Mash Up

As a result of her entrepreneurship, Ms. Versace, is now among the richest women anywhere in the world, including Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart and eBay's chief executive, Meg Whitman. Practically girdled in black leather and cuffed in diamonds, Her personal wealth is estimated at $1.5 billion or more, with members of her family worth billions more. When she wants your attention, she gives a show of $1.5 billion or more of mean tailoring and roiling color prints. ''She's a visionary,'' says Herman Woo, ''She doesn't mind putting a lot of money in at the beginning, to build the company.'' But clearly, class -- glamour class -- was in session as the models hit the runway in a fast-paced revue of $500 million when it went public here last March with the help of Merrill Lynch.

Driving around in a gold Dodge she displayed a knowing confidence with sexy clothes, Versace was stuck on I-95 between Washington and New York for seven hours. The Meatgrinder, as it is affectionately known to us, had a little case of congestion and after five hours of quality time she hooked an Apple iPod to a doohickey that works with the radio, she simply cranks up the volume, as she did tonight with an earsplitting blast of rock the car suddenly filled with an hour’s worth of music.

While a lot of us carry a little bit of glamour around in our pocket, Versace is now after the remaining bit of life-share that it doesn’t already own, the home front. The funny faces of the male executives, in particular those from Neiman Marcus and Steve Jobs, as the more womanly models stalked past and then posed right before their eyes. They were in heaven. They would look up, beaming with delight, and you could see one or two of them forming the word ''Wow!'' with their lips. They still might have blown it. After all, sex is Versace country and Versace is now among the richest in the world. But going forward, everything is up for grabs. And when it comes to a jump ball, best to put your money on Versace.

The amount of bugs is whats...unreal

possibly one of the programs with the most problems iv ever had running. installed on three computers, the third of which was the only that could get it going without crashing on startup. even so, the amount of bugs that occurred during the time i used it was seriously..... unreal. so frequent were these problems that i tried to download some patches, none of which did jack all. two bugs have become increasing familiar after finding it commonly raised in the unreal forums: one of these was the notorious use of glass that creates the dubbed "hall of mirrors " effect where repeated shadow images are cast around whilst playing the level, one of the forums recommended solutions still ended in the same predicament, my solution was to delete alot built glass that was in contact with any solids. the other was the constant disappearance of faces for a solid for which i cant explain and jus rebuilt them.
i recently got a brand new computer and decided to test it out, it runs well despite the fact that unreal crashed once due to lighting.
sometimes things jus get unreal

Week 3- Independant study

This is the open sky structure with a glass ceiling for hawking, developed purely because much of his focus is looking towards the sky and out into space.
The meeting area bring has a extruded square framed opening which mirrors the subtracted square space in Goodhall's space. It follows the notion that instead only looking through a window into nature, Goodhall actually steps through it to engage with it.
The mirroring subtracted area of the framed arch in the meeting area.
The main floor of Goodhall's area which echoes a cave-like lighting The meeting area is fitting for both Hawking and Goodhall because while Hawking studies the science of the open space around him, Goodhall likes to be in such areas where she finds her chimpanzee friends.

"Any physical theory today is always awful, provisional scientists believe in the sense that before hundreds of years of evolution we shall have unraveled all the secrets of the universe: you can never prove it. No matter how many exciting things, results of puzzles times there will be no more hypothesis. The experiments agree with some feeling of mystery, you can never be sure that the next time the result will not contradict the feeling of awe. On the other hand, you can look at a little live thing and being amazed by increased observation. Each time new experiments are observed there are an lot of really, really tragic theory to abandon the predictions. The feeling of confidence and how its emerged through these theories survives, and to disagree with a single observation of qhat is perfect and why."

Jane Goodhall + Steven Hawking
Both chosen because they have lived through ages of rapidly developing architecture that can be modern or contemporary.
