The image above shows the bridge and meeting area. The excessive size and shape of the bridge is representation of the clients' power and influence. The bridge represents Lady Gaga's outrageous personality and larger than life costumes as well as Apple's dominance of the marketplace. The above level is used by Lady Gaga for a recording studio and the bottom tier is used by Jonathan Ive for a product development studio.

The above image shows more detail of the meeting area which also spans the river at the bottom of the valley. The meeting space is also dramatically large and consists of a large dining table with one seat at each end for the two main clients which obviously represents their power over the other people in the meeting place.

The image above shows the obvious drastic size of the bridge and the different components that make up the bridge including the cross shape of the top tier which represents Gaga's strong religious beliefs. Even with the large meeting area in the background, the image shows the enormous size of the bridge and the large spans and internal areas for the clients to use.

The image above is another example of the shear size of the bridge in comparison to the meeting areas and the elavators.  The textures are also quite dramatic and this is in direct relation to both the client's personalities.

The image above shows the two elevators near the meeting area that are used to transport the clients to their studio spaces. The control keys to move these two different elevators are: Gaga - <P> = Up, <N> = Down. Ive - <U> = Up, <J> = Down.

SketchUp Models

The SketchUp image above shows the detailed components. The left side of the bridge represents Lada Gaga's influence and the structural components are in the shape of high heels that are excessively large and provocative. The opposite side represents the evolution of Apple components starting of large and progressively getting smaller.

The SketchUp image above shows in detail the meeting place and the two elevators used to transport the client's from the bridge to the meeting place. Lady Gaga's elevator represents an open podium similar to which she uses at her concerts and portrays her power and wealth. Jonathan Ive's elevator is in the shape of the Apple symbol and this too represents power and wealth of the Apple brand and the complexity of designing and operating such a component. This symbol is always immediately associated with the Apple brand.

The SketchUp image above is another view of all the components together. The glass ceilings in the two different working areas again highlight the client's power and status. This power that is associated with the two clients has obviously strongly influenced the design as can be further seen above.
