The Bridge:
The zigzag bridge with sharp edges creeping on the billowy waterfall, gives a sense of conquering
Looking from the sky, by imitating the spray of the waterfall, the bridge is not going to destruct the landform, but to integrate into it


Angela Merkel’s Office:
The triangular form is spinning up to the sky ---- indicate the power of diplomacy
Her elevator:
Cubic shape rolling from top to the bottom denotes the interpersonal relationship in diplomacy

Helen Keller’s Office:
Back ward into the landform, a bit more concealed than Angela’s place
Her elevator:
Circular shape with zigzag interspaces is a combination of soft and strong

Like many great women Helen Keller’s full story is getting lost. The deaf and blind child who found language at a water pump became an international celebrity and advocate for women's rights. As is the case with many great women, Helen Keller has been lost in history because we don't tell her full story. Far too often we remember famous women for simply one thing. For instance, we remember Rosa Parks as the woman who refused to get off the bus because she was tired. In reality, she was a long-time civil rights activist who was tired of being mistreated because she was a woman of color. The same goes for Susan B. Anthony who is now remembered as the woman on the dollar coin, instead of the famous abolitionist and suffragist. Behind these icons are stories of amazing women who changed our world. Nowadays, female power is getting wider and wider. In Germany, before Angela Merkel become the chancellor of Germany, the women's magazine Brigitte crowed in a headline, "We're Going To Be Chancellor!" Finally, the polls indicated, Germany was going to get a woman chancellor. On the other hand, women remain their traditional natural charming character-----female beauty. Miranda Kerr is a famous Australian supermodel. But, How Miranda Kerr and a stockbroker made it on to the same news segment? In Australia, David Kiely, a stockbroker with Macquarie Private Wealth can now boast that has is claim to fame. He was looking at nude photos of Kerr he received via email when the Channel 7 news crossed over to a colleague for his opinion on interest rates – unfortunately for Kiley his computer screen is in full view of the television cameras and he was looking at nude photos of Miranda Kerr. Some sharp eyes spotted the activity on Kiely’s screen and the whole thing went viral. The Australian are reporting that Kiely, who works as a stockbroker at the company, will be meeting with his bosses to determine his future at the company while human resources has emailed all employees with their internet policy to refamiliarize themselves with. Woman powder is soft and strong!

extinction just like jump in to a never ended circle -- black hole, that is indicated in the landform as a closed ring, with the nonviable swamp in the middle. The only way to survive from nature selection is improvement, the building in the only fracture in the landform, with two wings and kinkily hoop body, indicate the harsh process of evolution. The long 'stick' jumped out of depressive landform is the survivor of the natural selection.

3 Animations

First Animation: Walking around the exhibition space and having a glinps of the underground studios

Second Animaton: Explore the under ground studios and show how they conect to the upper level

Third Animation: The overall view of the project

Final submission ---- 7 pictures

1. Overall view of the project with the landscape around.
Nature, espesially water, can help sparking insipration, so I try to engage the nature with the project.

2. The exhibition area and uper studio. With two stair, the main one is in the middle from the top to the botton. Another one link the exhibition and the upper studio.
The exihibition space is a spiral hexagon, it is easy for visitors to go around and see the art work in a proper order.
I put both studios underground, but left the upper floor open to the air, mean to create a relaxing place for them to be closer to the fresh air.

3. The underground space.
Upper one is for Patricia, and lower one is for Ricky.
With the waterfall falling on the thick glass roof, the undergound space has enough light for their creative work. There are also holes on the erath to let the sunlight in.

4. Studio for Ricky Swalllow.
It is the space under the waterfall.

5. Studio for Patricia Piccinini. One level higher than Ricky's studio, semi-underground, with a good view of the waterfall.

6. The first draft mordel. The underground space then developed into the exhibition area.

7. My developed draft model
