Please note that I had alot of trouble regulating the lifts movement - sometimes they worked, and othertimes they did not. It they do not work by pressing 'tab' and then typing 'ghost' you are able to fly around the model.

Meeting Space

The Meeting space is very simple, representing both Madonna's and Prada's power stances. The space is risky - enclosed by bars, it is spacious and mysterious and is very ambiguous. The top of the space has a flow of rigid blocks - conveying how both woman use their sexuality and femininity to gain power however they do so in a structured, practical and controlled way always resulting in success.

Prada's Space

NOTE: THE COLOURS CAME OUT WRONG!


Prada's space was based around the platform of stairs for the public. The platform has 3 display cases for Prada's clothing for the public to browse on their way up. The boxes symbolise Prada's idea process, and how every idea is evolved and improved, till the final product is produced. It moreover represents the build up of success and power from her notorious brand name. The bottom half of the boxes is Prada's working space, and the top half is for the public to look and buy her clothing's and accessories. The bottom half can only be accessed by Prada herself. This design is very interactive and thrives on public interest. The fact that her work space is below the public space conveys that her power and success depends on the publics opinions and loyalty to her brand. it moreover conveys that her brand is powerful - drawing the public up the large stair platform towards her designs.


Madonna's Space

Madonna uses her music and sexuality to gain power from the public. I created a space made to reflect this. The house is risky and promiscuous, reflecting Madonna's ability to gain power via her sexuality and her aptitude to take risks in the music industry. I have used to colour red to further convey this alluring characteristic she embodies. The space follows a music theme with the music note, glass recording studio, intimate stage and wall of records. Moreover i have provided a small space for her children to play whilst she is recording or performing.

Dinning table

The table is round, symbolising virtuosity, sexuality and femininity - something both Madonna and Prada have in common, using these characteristics as a way to manifest power.

Elevators

The First elevator (top) is used for Prada to get to her working/displaying space and to the meeting space. I decided on a curved surface to reflect her sexuality and beauty to create power. I have used a myriad of triangles as windows that is repeated in the space for her as well, representing her multiple and evolving ideas and struggles whilst creating a new design. Moreover, Prada's power is heightened by the demand from the public, thus her success is very much reliant a numerous amount of different people - represented in the many pieces of glass.
The second elevator (bottom) is used for Madonna to get to her space and t0 the meeting space. I again decided on a round surface symbolising her sexuality as a means of gaining power. The circular shape moreover continues the theme of records evident in her space furthering her ability to manifest power through her musical ability.
