Final Design

Miranda Kerr and Angela Merkel are powerful women within the modern world. Within the sturdy construction of the suspension bridge, the main walking path represents their strength. The ornament of copper is intentional as the metal is heavly associated with the symbol of Venus, which itself is a symbol of women's power. Furthermore, through the long cuts taken out along alternate sides of the bridge the volatile nature of power is represented as the person must take care not to fall off the edge. The additional cuts between the offices of Merkel and Kerr represent the professional chasm that should be present between these two types of power being celebrity and Government. Through the windows along the corresponding sides of their offices it is recognised that they operate within the same society and are constantly observing eachother. In the meeting place, these two parties are given the opportunity to benefit from eachother within a social context hence the bar design.

The bar structure located at the base of the valley is constructed out of a series of circle sections. The circle is the oldest symbol associated with power. Through the multiple layers the many aspects of power are represented. This is similar to the ideas present within the bar. The different segments again represent the different elements of power, which is quite fitting as it is the meeting place for two different forms of power derived from different source being brains and beauty.

The two office spaces are intentionally similar but different. The exterior is consistent to comment on the inapporpriate value that society places on celebrity, keeping them in line with or more important than government. It is through the contradiction of the interior two office spaces that the concept behind the office is evident. Miranda Kerr's space is minamilist but showey in the colour scheme (hints of bright purple) and the seperating wall. Alternately, Angela Merkel's space is strictly minimalist, traiditonal and patriotic. These differences represent the contradicitions in their power. Kerr derives her power from modern consumerist society which over values celebrity and beauty. Merkel dervices her power from the strict tradition of government and her knowledge of politics.
