Final Design
Exp 3 design bridge for Angela Merkel and Miranda Kerr. Through the concept of power the design is influenced to have dominating features. The wall textures are specifically for a certain power reason. The building has 3 levels: top goes to Miranda Kerr, middle to Angela Merkel and lower is the meeting room where a specially designed dinner table is present.
Entry is via by boat. Two docking wharfs for the two clients.
The Two Lifts
The Meeting Area with the Dining Table.
Merkel's Office
Kerr's Office
It is largely emphasized that there is no higher in power for the two client where none is deemed more superior than the other. Because of this, the elevators do not belong to a distinct person but can be shared. There two in which any of the two clients can use and will take them where ever they intend to go.
Kerr's office being situated above has no real significance in terms of power or superiority over Merkel. Having power over media endorsements her office is wide and long; the wideness symbolises the wide branch of media and publications and being long represents a run way symbolising Kerr's career. The office is at a large capacity to occupy Kerr's work such as photo shoots or filming.
Merkel's office is shape as a badge as well bracing up the office above. This badge like shape shows authority such as seen through Merkel's career as the Chancellor of Germany. Supporting the office above symbolises how Merkel's career through politics, people depend on her through her actions and choices; the weight of her nation upon her.

The two lifts have two different codes. The lift closest to the meeting room using the key ( n ) will take you to Merkel's office, key ( j ) for Kerr's office, key (k) for ground and ( y ) for the meeting room. The second lift which is furthest from the meeting room, key (p) for Kerr's office, key ( h ) for Merkel's office , key (y ) for the meeting room and key ( l ) for ground.
Dining Table Design
My dining table design for Angela Merkel and Miranda Kerr at the meeting room.
From the mash up, it was emphasized that Merkel's form of power is through politics while Kerr was through the media, this can be said so in the influence of designing the table.
Merkel's side of the table is the oval with timber. This represents her power and being surrounded by people and other power figures throughout her career. With people surrounding her making her at the centre, so will the table at her area putting her in the centre.
Kerr's side is the straight plank with gradual steps. This represents a runway as it relates to her career as an international model. Power through the media she symbolises the rise to the top as a role model, hence the steps.

Mashup
The role of iconic women and their power is evident through their own unique profession. This can be said so by Australian international model Miranda Kerr, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and American author Helen Keller.
Miranda Kerr processes power through media endorsements such as with skin care product manufacturer, Tongue, where she works with the agency to create “unique content and stories” that will be used online in order to drive sales.
Angela Merkel has the power of politics, being the Chancellor for the country Germany. Having such high rank of importance, she has the role in managing and directing sensitive topics worldwide such as recently promising further decisive action to defend the euro against speculation, after months of prevarication in the wake of the financial problems in Greece.
Helen Keller is an influential author, although not in the same generation as Kerr and Merkel, her legacy still lives on, being an author, political activists and lecturer, living most her life being deaf and blind. Such respect for a woman, a statue was made in her honour depicts Keller as a child, at the famous pump where she learned her first word, “water.”
