UT2004 Development-Cloud 9

An enclosed and artificially-lit space for Dotella, reflecting her detachment from reality and her physical artificiality.

The space expands from being scarcely enough for one to a spacious meeting space, signifying the explosive potential of collaboration between Jobs and Dotella.

The meeting space is enclosed in a glass sphere, as high-powered collaborations like these are always of public interest and are on display.

The box explodes and reforms into a meeting space upon contact with one of the clients. The planes are hovering at different heights, substituting furniture, merging the function and form of floor-furniture. 

Glass floor allows Jobs to look down at the world. The elevator th lower levels allows specific inspection toward a certain orientation.

Based on the form of a Jellyfish. 

From reading the interview of Versace, she struck me as a character who is detached from the world, and has a distorted view of the world, where everyone is gay (happy) and loves matching pink luggage. The deceptive difference between the internal space and the external form of the upper office for Versace reflects this detachment. The enclosed space isolates Versace's gay (happy) world from the realities outside.

The dynamic office is composed from multiple bands of spaces, which  move as the occupant travels through the space, and this movement would create different openings, varying the lighting. Small windows will be cut at very specific orientations into the outer shell to deliberate beams of light into the room, and to also illustrate the varying thickness and contrasting outer/inner form.

Before, it was an glass box enclosed in a solid shell. The intermediate meeting space is a solid box enclosed in an expanse of glass. The box will explode and form a room when the elevator makes contact.

The nodes are accumulatively the office space for Steve Jobs, with a central circular elevator which would service all the levels. The 360 view from each node reflects the user friendly nature of apple products, as if Jobs has stood up in the clouds, looking down at the world, and thought "hmm...I think what they really need down there is an iPod."

Perhaps more than anyone, Steven P. Jobs has come to define the brash brush stroke of lipstick feminism. She and her husband, who was trained as the iPod, had formed a company in the 1990s to borrow a swatch from Giorgio Armani. 

It was a step up from life back in the outset of the 21st century, where she had opened a dozen purple cases in tow — one bag each for dresses, shoes and accessories. Late last year, Forbes magazine named Ms. Jobs a kind of mystery, a coziness and sensuality. Mr. Jobs set out to modernize an honest businesswoman, careful trying to measure the carbon print of a stiletto. 

Purple, he noted, “is one of my favorite petite 49-year-old woman with a cherubic smile and a fancy for Apple employees."

Mr. Jobs's relationship with John Sculley, has made her a solid citizen in at least one regard, vowing to take on the world's world's richest women, according to Piers Global Intelligence. 

''She doesn't mind putting a lot of money in at the beginning, to build a vast set of matched pink leather Mars candy bars."

A decade later she sold the men’s boutique at Barneys New York for her brother Gianni. If that sounds over the top, she began working with the quirky computer maker stamped ''Made in China."

FileFront-Planet Beehive

UT2004 Final Solution-Planet Beehive

The electroliquid aggregation quote embodies a eery tranquility, a mixture of Goodall's zen and Hawking's geekiness; the result is this alien yet peaceful form that shares the same off-beat feel.

Inspired by the fiction "Le Petit Prince" where the character came from a planet not much larger than a house, yet possesses sophisticated insights into life. Here on the small 'planet' Dr. Hawkings too can search for insights into the functioning of the universe.

The quote is a fusion of two different ideas from contrasting characters, yet the concept it conveys is coherent. The same coherency, through repetition and similar geometric forms, applies the the structures.

The irony of the fused quotes from Hawking and Goodall seems typical of the Hawking-Style Off-Beat Geek humor. These amusing funky lighting seems to follow the same brand of nerdy humor.

Unbuilt lighting to show the texture. dark to light.

The red cubicles among the beehive helps the inhabitants locate their positioning in the repetitive beehive structure. The green lighting is to recreate the forest setting for the chimpanzees, while the salmon pink is a feminine touch for Jane.
Veins and small trees could be planted into each cubicle, while large trees may extend through several cubicles, and outwards. The beehive effective forms the datum for a forest, acting as the anchorage for the vegetation as they extend outwards towards the light.
