JAMES MOULDER

The meeting space I designed using gold and silver textures, as well as marble in some of the elevators and dining table, my reason for this was to give the environment a wealthy texture, because after all it is intended for two very powerful and wealthy clients. The entrances to the meeting place from the elevators are also significant, with Madonna's elevator rising through the ground surface like performer, creating a higher sense of surprise which Madonna is well known for, and then I designed Obama's entrance in a way that he can all ways keep an eye on the meeting place when he's approaching, giving the sense that he is powerful man keeping a watchful eye over everything, and thus looking after his people. The dining table has been placed in the center, in a wide open space, and in stark contrast to the gold floor to emphasize the main focus of the meeting room, where the two powerful figures will go to congregate.

Madonna's elevator in meeting space:

Madonna's elevator I designed to look lavishly and envoke a sense of mystery, much like the glamorous and unpredictable life style of Modanna. The elevator has a unique and elegant shape to compliment the succesfull and powerfull status she has, and it also presents her nicely as if though she was on platform or podium. This is again emphasized through the movement of the elevator rising up out her office space vertically in to the meeting space, much like a performer such as her would do at concerts. I feel this also symbolises an idea of rising power.

FINAL- OBAMA'S ELEVATOR

Obama's elevator at his office:

The elevator for Obama, as I explained earlier, I drew inspiration from two hands forming a diamond shape, symbolising the idea of hope and joy, an aspect which Obama is thouroughly looked towards bringing. I designed the elevator so it travels up the ramp from the meeting place, much like the journey of Obama's career of becoming US President. The elevator also sits underneath an awning once it reaches the office space, where i tried to symbolise the idea of Obama capturing that new hope that he brings and excuting it with his powerful status.
