Real Time Image Captures of the Developed

View of Miranda Kerr's Offices

Yoga is a large part of Kerr’s life. Along with meditation and chanting. She believes that "we have a responsibility to bring peace and harmony to our lives and the world.”

I have designed Kerr’s office based around her love for peace and meditation, along with her career of modeling and her beauty products.

There are serene views of the sounding landscape of a waterfall and undisturbed valley. Kerr has an abundance of built area to reach her state of enlightenment. The large windows on the numerous levels and open plan allow the external environment to be en-captured within the building.

There is a level for research of her organic skin care products.

There is also a runway situated at the top of the structure. This allows for practice and performances for her modeling.

Kerr believes in being organic and healthy. This valley office and her life style go hand in hand, creating a little piece of nirvana that she can escape her busy schedule with.

The lift for Kerr is circular. On half of the circle, there is a solid balustrade, other half has non. This is so, if Kerr chooses, she can meditate on the lift, which stops right on the waters surface below the bridge. The lack of balustrade make the view and environment more available so she feels less constricted.

Helen Keller's Offices

Keller’s office space consists of three different spaces. One is an open room in which she writes her books and speeches. Because she is blind, the space has especially large opening windows. This allows Keller to feel the environment and experience the nature around her.

The second room is a library where she researches for her speeches and finds inspiration. Her own published books are placed in there also.

The third, top room is accessed by a simple lift. This space is a classroom where she has learnt to communicate. This room is also for other people with like disabilities to learn to communicate, read and write.

Table Representing POWER

The texture that I have chosen for the elevators and the table represent the feminine power that both of the clients ooze. I feel that the texture is strong yet delicate and beautiful.

The deep colour represents strength.

The table is a unique and strong shape that reminds me of both of the clients, as they are both unique and strong women. There are extrusions with glass in the table, which allow light to project upward. The lighting enforces the idea of power…

The view from the table is of the waterfall and cliff walls. This is an ideal place for the two women to discuss and exchange their own ideas of peace, resulting in their power.

The Elevators...

Miranda's Lift

Miranda's lift is more of an open air/open space lift giving her access to the surrounding environment that she can feed off of for energy during yoga and meditation.

Helen's lift

Helen's lift is more constricted due to her disabilities. The constrictions make it a little bit safer. The texture is placed on the lower half and once again, this texture represents power.

News Articles and a Mash Up from the Clients

Angela Merkel

Speech to US congress, 2009

Germany is united, Europe is united. That is what we have achieved. Now, today, our political generation must prove that it is able to meet the challenges of the 21^st century, and that in a sense it is able to tear down today’s walls.

What does that mean? First it means building peace and security, second, achieving prosperity and justice, and third, protecting our planet. Here, too, America and Europe are called upon in a very special way.

Even after the end of the Cold War we are thus faced with the task of tearing down the walls between different concepts of life, in other words the walls in people’s minds that make it difficult time and again to understand one another in this world of ours. This is why the ability to show tolerance is so important. While, for us, our way of life is the best possible way, others do not necessarily feel that way. There are different ways to create peaceful coexistence. Tolerance means showing respect for other people’s history, traditions, religion and cultural identity.

HELLEN KELLER

“Strike Against War”, Speech by Heller Keller, 1916

Strike against all ordinances and laws and institutions that continue the slaughter of peace and the butcheries of war. Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought. Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder. Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human being. Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.

MIRANDA KERR

Okay, Australia, 2010

We depend on the natural world around us to survive. We owe it to ourselves and the future generations to protect our environment. I have been given a voice because of what I do, so if I can get the message across to even a small group of people and change the impact they have on the environment, then why not?

MASH UP

I believe that power is about the ability to create a peaceful coexistence between people’s history, traditions, religions and cultural identities. Along with the community’s awareness of the impact they have on the environment.

Being able to live our lives happily among one another means being tolerant, showing respect and taking a strike against war, for without you, no battles can be fought.

Some people may think this as weak and disrespectful, but we must not be dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction, rather, be heroes in an army of construction. We must also keep in mind that we have the power and the right to stand up for this.

We have been given a voice to get the message across and change the predicament we are in. There is so much hate and distrust amongst in this human race. There are walls in people’s minds that make it difficult time and again to understand one another in this world of ours. There are so many means to death and misery to millions of human being. This is a great tragedy.

We depend on the nature around us and the humans around us to survive; yet we treat them like they are disposable and renewable. We owe it to ourselves and the future generations to change how we feel towards one another and to protect the environment. What does that mean? First it means building peace and security, second, achieving prosperity and justice, and third, protecting our planet.
