ARCH1101 5 Real Time Image Captures

The image captures above encapsulate the idea that power is something that mimics in order to gain authority over others and thus always results with a response. The response to power is very much dependent on one's perspective. With these images it can be drawn that the overall angular build of the bridge adapts into the rough appearance of the Australian Red Centre. Despite this, power does not necessarily mimic to conform but can make a statement, much like the "radical" choice of exterior cladding materials which do not respond well to the harsh environment of the site.


This image is the interior of Kerr's headquarters in the bridge and spans up for 3 levels, claiming more than two thirds of the length of the bridge. This was intentionally done as to reflect her fame in the fashion industry and maximise the space so that it allows for Kerr to be displayed whenever and wherever she is on the bridge. Thus the concept behind this space is that power is very influential though very much dependent on reputation.


This image capture is the interior of Keller's bridge and as seen from the images of the overall bridge the exterior of the space is plain and undecorated. The plain exterior in contrast with the rich interior was the intention so as to demonstrate that power is something that can be hidden. In Keller's case it was her potential and unrelenting aspiration to change society's perspective of her disability and personality. The encased office space intends for a nurturing and inspiring learning space for Keller's students, demonstrating that use of power can have a positive impact thus be infectious.


This image capture is of the dining table for Kerr and Keller's collaborations. The location's drastic change from the overall effect of the bridge above symbolises the transition of the two clients' respective unchallenged power into a space that places them both in level ground. The contrast in colour and form of the table and the environment, recognises that power is something that is distinctive and in rare occasions something undiscovered at the same time. The table and its location synthesises all these ideas concerning power and accommodates for the needs and personalities of the clients.Kerr's side is on the left of the table and revolves around her reputation as a model hence the platform-like form of her space to display her power. Keller's side is on the right, in which her table and chair collaboratively protects her fragile state.
