Exp 3 - Final submission


Mashup


Facebook is updating its data use policy in an attempt to give people more clarity on how the company uses information they share.  The company also said it planned to reduce costs $550 million to $650 million by 2015 and use the savings to invest in its brands and offset higher commodities prices. During a conference call with financial analysts Tuesday, executives said the company was still on track to release. plans to notify its more than 900 million users of the changes through advertisements around the site. Although profits from a new t-t Pacific region unit, which includes China and Japan sales - a $5 billion gain for the 33 percent stake -  Facebook also has given itself more leeway on how long it keeps information it collects.  The new CEO, Ben Feder, said Tuesday that he and other new executives are working closely with The Coca-Cola Company, the world’s largest soft-drink maker, reported fourth-quarter profit on Tuesday,about how it collects people's data and uses it for advertising, as well as how long it keeps such information.


Explanation: The combination of companies enforcing Facebook to be even more powerful. Also the idea of whatever Facebook says goes, no users have an input on the matter. The collection of peoples data where it can be used against them.

The idea behind Facebook has an unusual approach to power where it is more technological withholding millions of personal user information. The observation deck relates to the power being in commanding position, the free power of worldwide user personal information. Standing in-between the two triangles  where it runs parallel it is unknown naive users that it is much more to that when looking from a different point.
It is true that Coca-Cola has been around for a long time. But studies have shown that their competitor Pepsi was a preferred 'cola' over Coca-Cola over a blind test. Where Coca-Cola is still the most known and preferred beverage over any other, a unknown goodwill from its users.
The approach behind a more 'fun' approach to its clients even on the darkest of days and fluid motion embodied into the physical concept also internally evoking the ancient tradition of columns.



Walk through

The concept of the elevators approach to power is written on the floor of the elevator. Standing upon what is reflected. The idea behind coca colas approach of global expansion, being the most known beverage in the world with constant growth like a virus. Face books approach to power seen resembling a less risen form of amphitheatre, a form of entertainment embracing ideas, a common connection between everything looking at the centre where information is spread and delivered. Ideas and commands are sent from a central focus point.

Arriving - 



Walk through the spaces - 





Two Concepts - 

Antonio Gaudi - Integration of crafts: ceramics, stained glass, wrought ironwork forging and carpentry.



Richard Rogers - Structural expressionism.




 "Structure integrating with the environment where elements are forged and expressed."



18 (24) Sketch Axonometrics - 













36 Custom Textures - Light and Shadow - 


Chosen Axonometric. & Textures








Realtime Cryengine 3 Enviroment - 





Internal look at the concepts of integration where strands bending towards each other represents that. Forming of column like form to express itself as structure.  The mix use of materials like timber representing the nearby environment of trees and how it is forged into the environment through the idea of electroliquid aggregation as well   as the material wrought iron representing Gaudi's work. 






Concept of how environment being part of structure with the monument.




Monument expressing the surroundings, the darkest texture being on the top and lightest being on the bottom.
