notes

here for later refernce. dont worry if they dont make sense to you, they make sense to me

steve jobs: keep it simple
smooth lines
do it all in sketch up so more rounded shapes can be created.
lower space - doesnt seek too much glory (puts most of his money back into company)

versace: extravagent, fake/artificial.
upper space
power extending from fashion

idea: starting room has 2 exits, one way takes you through a teleporter that lands you back where you left. other way.. less desirable, expands and ultimately provides a better path. lesson: dont be afraid to go against instructions.
elevator IS the final room, takes person to meeting space (or perhaps it is the meeting space itself.)

SketchUp Elevator - Donatella Versace

Rough and harsh looking - but still posessing a certain elegance - visible to some but not others. This elevator is inspired by any one of the images of Versace you can find on google. Her fake, plastic 'beauty' rivals her power and wealth. In this way, I have created something that will look beautiful in motion, but motionless, its harsh shapes and angles cause it to look undesirable. The elevator opposes the one used by Jobs in that the rider is completely exposed. I believe this to more closely reflect versace's nature, extravagent and outgoing. It almost serves as a platform to promote versace, but this is juxtaposed by the motion of the elevator going downwards, equalising the two clients. The elevator itself posesses a mini runway, which is representative of the root of versace's power.

SketchUp Elevator - Steve Jobs.

Inspired by the shape of an apple (literal, yes, but aesthetically pleasing and minimalist). Gaps in elevator provide an (obstructed) 360 degree view of surroundings, allowing jobs to observe his surroundings, but only take in what he needs to.
Construction is smooth, minimal and professional. this is the way that I see Steve Jobs, and his relationship to power. The elevator will subtley spin on its way up to the meeting space - linking it to the elevator that will bring versace down to the meeting space. I believe this relationship is important, as the meeting space is a region where the 2 clients are equalised - despite their differences. By linking the elevators - the vehicles that will bring each client together, this equalisation of power has begun before even reaching each other.
