Experiment 3 - Thinking through

Architecture consisting of three spaces

Two offices plus an elevator - So they ought to be at least be completing and complementing each other as a full piece of architecture - Composed of static and dynamic parts

Choose a specific business from two of the three clients listed above and create an architecture consisting of three spaces

Think of a specific 'business' by ascribing a verb or a programme to it - Such as marketing, research, recording, performing, publishing and so on

Two of the spaces should be located in a bridge that spans a valley.

Think of the manner in which the spaces interact or not interact with each other - Do they physically or visually connect and/or disconnect and why

Also, as the piece of architecture is a bridge, access or the manner of arriving at the offices would be key so think of whether they arrive from either ends or both ends or do one or both of the elevators contribute to the arrival and departure from/to the offices from the valley floor or is the arrival from the valley only?

Design two elevators to transport your clients to the meeting space and a table around which to meet that reinforces or challenges your particular understanding of "Power".

Think of where these elevators emerge from top or bottom or is this part of the same composition which then dismantles into two elevators?
