Hi brad,
I only uploaded the "source file" for one of the two drafts because i forgot to save the second one after taking the screenshots.
However the images are there so you can see what it looked like.

Thanks
John

View of Meeting point and Prada's space



Meeting space (Sketchup)



Meeting space

The meeting space is inspired by the strength of couples in business. This was the case for both Prada and Obama, but especially for Prada. The room is nearly symmetrical and has two of everything such as the stairs and the two ornamental poles. The poles signify the two parts in the partnership.
The Table and chairs are elevated to give them a powerful presence.

Table and chairs

The table and chairs also reflect couples in buisness and is designed with four seats for the two celebrities and their partners. It is structured around the two high-rising poles which they can observe while seated.

Taking out the windows



Complete view of Obama's space

The concepts behind Obama's office complex are the solid foundation he needs to build into the American economy and also Unity. The two seperate spaces are united only by the curved path which coincidentally is "U" shaped. One of Obama's objectives is to unite the countries of the world in these difficult times and encourage "working together".
The strong foundation of the building with its many stairs is what i used to represent the first concept.

Obama's space (sketchup)

Because I imported everything from sketchUp I had to separately group each part of the model and export it with its own material.

Obama's long path to rebuild the economy

This ornamental winding pathway signifies the long road to rebuilding the economy of the United States.

If you click on the image you will see the brick material I used.

Prada's space (sketchup)

For Prada's space I focused on the qualities of a successful woman in buisness.
These were thick skin and networking. The Former takes form in the thick walls and windows of the two main "flying disks". The networking quality can be seen in the general structure of the space and also by the pole structure inside one of the disks.

Prada's elevator


This design is inspired by the business woman. Some of the main personality traits of a successful business woman are: thick skin and optimism
This elevator has uses optimistic, uplifting colours and a large open plan space where employees can talk. But there is also a private space for prada to stand with where she can isolate herself from her workers in case of a difference of opinion.
