My final submission for Experiment 3 is the inclusion of Facebook Headquarters, Coca Cola Headquarters, Bridge, Dining Table/Meeting Space and a CryEngine 3 Environment. Throughout the Experiment 3 process i had previous knowledge from Experiment 2 which helped me through the steps of combing textures with my sketchup models which enhanced the time i had to spend on the overall scheme between the structures and the landform. The key factor in my deisng was to show a strong connections between all the elements. The concept of "POWER" was emphasised in my two headquarters aswell as the bridge that connects them together. In conclusion i would like to add that Experiment 3 gave me a thorough understanding of what the concept/idea of "POWER" applied to the design of buildings/structures can do for the overall design. Enjoy !

Exp. 3.9 Marking Schedules

Exp. 3.8 Two Clients

Coca Cola

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants, and vending machines in more than 200 countries. It owns most of the highest selling brands including Fanta, Sprite and various others like juices, mineral waters etc.

Based on Interbrand's best global brand 2011, Coca-Cola was the world's most valuable brand.

Facebook

Facebook is a social networking website and website launched in February 2004, owned and operated by Facebook. Inc. As of May 2012, Facebook has over 900 million active users, more than half of them using Facebook on a mobile devices. Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile.

It is currently valued at over 104 billion US, which makes it one of the most valuable businesses around the world.

My comments:

These two companies immediately appealed to me through their shear quality of products and high sense of "POWER" which is very important to emphasise in the Experiement 3 buildings. They are my inspiration in this experiement because they give out a strong sense of power through their business ethic. They both have unique business strategies but they are equally effective as each other.

Exp. 3.7 36 Textures

My chosen textures are the following:

Exp. 3.6 Draft Models

My draft models are in essence the end project without the materials and textures applied. This was done to show the 'power' the materials and textures have on the models in the final submission. Learning form Experiment 2, the textures add a sense of quality and finalisation to the project. The two models will be connected to the bridge and will eventually span across a valley between two mountains.
