My Design Thinking

Inspirations and the Insight of Obama

Obama's related phrase of Power

"From top to bottom, they have destroyed their opponents within the party, stolen out from under them their base, and persuaded a whole set of individuals from blog readers to people in the pews to ignore intermediaries and believe in Barack as a pure vessel of change... He's consolidating power within the party."----------Power about change

The word I gonna use for my model: change, hope

'F- Shape' Path way

Sketchup models

Elevator for Obama's Space
The elevator show the new power

This elevator is playful arranged by a similar piece of element. Each bits of the floor is different to the others resemble the theme of "change".I was trying to make each piece can be taken out and the whole elevator can be reassemble into another form. My elevator for Obama showing as a cube is to create a more formal sense for the President of American.


Prada's elevator
the shattered egg shape

For Prada's elevator, I design to have a "egg" like shape , is to have a sense of unity to my Prada's space. The elevator suppose to full connect the meeting space and hide the office. Beacuse although Prada is a very talent and creative designer, she seldom show up in front of people . What she siad was"I like to design intersting things to let people have a better mood, but who design the nice dress is not a big deal." Therefore, the design of office and elevator should give her more private space.

Obama's Elevator;

few layers of thin ribs like ball rotated in different direction show the concept of change for Obama and give a sense of protection as well.(the model is too weak to match the concept)

Prada's Space;

Prada's space is about her unconventional idea of architecture. Prada always enthuse about the new technology and new forms of design. She would like to experiment new things and interesting things, in my Sketchup model I am try to combine the propeller and office space together, the feeler like thing (sorry, I dont know how to describe it)symbolises her stretching her hand in all directions reaching for power. It also represent her freedom of imaggination.

Very First model for Obama's office.

I just trying to discover the form of building which shows the sense of dominance. Those very cubism office block might show the perception of potency.

Developing model of Obama's Space,In this concept I pushed the building to one side to show the sense of moving forward, and to shows Obama's intention of changing current situation. but I found it hard to make the surface with angle, so I decide to make this model in the UT Editor.



This model is for Prada,the wave stairs.

Dinning Table in the meeting space
The design of dinning table is for two well-known clients, Prada and Obama. When they getting together at the dinning room, they both want to show their potency and their power at the first place. At this moment, the crash of power occur in the dinning room. The Radiation like shape shows clients' extensive influence. One table goes over the other one suggest that the first time two clients have dinner together they must be very desire to show their ability in their heart.

Final Model 'IMAGE CAPTURES'

Alfred Nobel Laboratory:

This is the entrance of Alfred Nobel's lab, "perpendicular marble columns" on the pathway represent the baulk which discourage us on the way to succeed. This image also shows the customer texture on the columns. As Alfred Nobel said he got thousands ideas but only some of them works he is glad. I means there are many bafflement discourage us to succeed,the column turns out to be the initial blockade on the pathway.

This is a major component of Alfred Nobel's lab. It is consist of space stew randomly by overlaying and playful arranging the grids.This image reveal the idea of "a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good", because there are many of possible pathway, but only few of them can go though this building and reach the lab.

Inside the Alfred Nobel's lab, this image show the inner construction of the lab. the walls stop the player go though the building easily and we can see the lab indistinctly.


Finally, we reach Alfred Nobel's lab, but there still have the stairs block our way. This is the close view of Alfred Nobel's lab,the labs located in the middle of the stair cases which represents that we still have to push much more effort before we succeed. further more, while I was doing the research I found that obstruct Alfred Nobel prefers to work in a very small room when he is doing the research about the invention. Therefore I tend to make the lab relatively smaller than Jacques Yves Cousteau's lab.and transparent window allow the client to have a better view of the outside world. I place the lab at the very end of the created environment because I wanna make Alfred Nobel have a broaden horizon when he look though the window wall. If he have a brod vision his invention won't be so debatable.looking back from the stair case of Alfred Nobel's lab which give us the overview of the whole environment. while he standing on the platform and looking back to the other side, may be he can get the inspiration form the environment.


The overview of Alfred Nobel's lab
image took on the porch of the meeting space.



Giving the over expression of floor texture.

The whole outside world. The "cage" seems like the easiest way connect to Nobel's Lab, but it is a dead end.

Jacques Yves Cousteau's lab:

The front gate of Jacques Yves Cousteau's lab,we can just see the columns and stone walls block our vision and the colour of the entrance is red represent the idea of "the sea as never before"

The over view of JacquesYves Cousteau's lab, colourful lighting effects impressed us by the sense of beauty and mystery. The playful arrangment of working place and the place surrounded by the column wall have the meaning of protection. however, his working place located in those opened rectangle space which remind he the ecological system is never before. The reason why the lab located lower than the ground level, because Jacques Yves Cousteau used to live under the sea and do the research for a long time. The client might feel comfortable with the lower altitude.

Looking though the window of the meeting place.


From this image,we can see the texture working quite well with the theme.

looking though the window of meeting place 2Looking though the window of the meeting place 3.

In the meeting place, both clients change see the lab of each other which is good for both of them to get the inspiration form each other's place and exchange their ideas.

This image give a closer view of the whole meeting space. The window wall give a wonderful view of the outside world.
