MEETING PLACE

This was just a shot of the meeting place whilst in the water.
This picture displays the table stretching out above the water, and stools on either side for Miranda and Angela.
It is very spread out and divided but gives a personal touch.

This shot is a birds eye view which I like very much. It displays the elevator at ground level and the pathway to the meeting place.
It really gives a mysterious and private feel.

The pathway is a rocky pavement, and then softens up towards the stools, where it is pretty much grass.
This shot shows exactly how the table is structured and punctured to the ground.

THE ELEVATOR

This is just a snippet of the main elevator I have designed.
This elevator is quite big in size, but the only people to use it of course are MIRANDA KERR and ANGELA MERKEL.
I have made it so that both of them share the elevator. It also meets them at the middle, maybe for a little chat whilst walking towards the dining table.
The quality of this video is quite bad, because when I had tried uploading to youtube with its original sizing, it took forever.

This is just an above shot of the elevator attached to the bridge.

This is a shot of the elevator where it meets the ground.
The ride down the elevator is protected with huge walls of rock and grass. I had designed it that way for privacy and protection.
Then it follows a path which leads to the meeting place.

This shot is a view standing at the meeting place.
It captures the height of the rocky walls, and shows the closure of the elevator.

THE BRIDGE

The bridge I have designed is made out of rectangular prisms and also curved like tubes.
Its structure is also bolted and connected to each of the clients buildings which are bolted into the sides of the valleys.
The bridge slab is a straight walk for Miranda and Angela, for there are no ballustrades.
This also gives Miranda practice in her Catwalks!!

This is just a birds eye view of my bridge.
It shows height and also the positioning between the valley walls.

CLIENTS BUILDINGS

Basically my ideas for each of my designs for Miranda and Angela, were pretty much constructed using the E-prisms we had sketched up in our sketchbooks.
They actually made quite nice areas to each of the buildings, and also gave open walls to check out the views.
Each of the Buildings are Attached to the valley walls, instead of resting on land.
I had designed it like that because it makes it trickier for people to get to, mainly because these women are very powerful and private.
Each of the buildings also have their own elevators in them.

MIRANDA KERR

ANGELA MERKEL

FINAL SUBMISSION - ENVIRONMENT

The ideas that had inspired me to make this valley was from the valley in Germany called the "Rhine River Valley."
It had nice tall valley walls, and soothing water flowing in the middle.
I decided to make the walls a bit taller to create a hidden perspective to it.
The middle island aswell at the bottom also had tall rising rocky walls for privacy.
I wanted this area to be displayed as private and personal being the clients are both girls and also strong women to their countries.
I decided to add rocky texture to the walls as well for better appearance and a realistic look.
Playing around with the textures were fun as well.

This is my final outcome.

It wasn't enough for Miranda Kerr to rule the runway at David Jones's launch of the Autumn/Winter 2010 Australian designers' collections. She turned to directing the snappers in the media pit as well.

"I like it when you use your flash," the 26-year-old beauty shouted at the scrum of photographers before getting down to what she does best - posing up a photogenic storm.

The atmosphere was electric as the launch got under way in a room packed with 500-plus guests including such fashion luminaries as Jodhi Meares, sass & bide's Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton, Sam Armitage and David Jones's brand ambassador Megan Gale.

HELLEN KELLER

By ULA ILNYTZKY, Associated Press Writer Ula Ilnytzky, Associated Press Writer – Tue Apr 13, 9:02 am ET

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100413/ap_on_re_us/us_helen_keller_exhibition

NEW YORK – "Cat, cat, cold, cold, doll, doll" were Helen Keller's first handwritten words, and they represent an important moment in the remarkable life of a woman who helped bring about meaningful change for the disabled by writing incessantly to state Legislatures, Congress and presidents. Written on a single page in a neat handwriting, the words are the first document to greet visitors at a new exhibition, "Helen Keller: A Daring Adventure," opening May 7 at the midtown Manhattan headquarters of the American Foundation for the Blind. Elsewhere in the exhibit, a photograph shows a blind salesman operating a newsstand with an accompanying letter from Keller to President Franklin D. Roosevelt that says, "Work is the only way for the blind to forget the dark, and the obstacles in their path." The foundation is letting the public see some of its vast Helen Keller holdings as part of a fundraising effort to digitize the archival collection totaling 80,000 letters, photographs, books and artifacts bequeathed by Keller, who worked for the foundation for 44 years. Keller, whose childhood is depicted in the play and film "The Miracle Worker," lost her hearing and vision at 19 months. She wrote her first words when she was 7 years old, just 15 weeks after her beloved teacher, Anne Sullivan, arrived at the Keller household in 1887. Her enormous progress is demonstrated in another letter just two years later in which she writes, "I study about the earth and the animals, and I like arithmetic exceedingly. I learn many new words too. Exceedingly is one that I learned yesterday." The two documents are among 61 of Keller's personal items on display, 31 of which have never before been in a public exhibition. She joined the American Foundation for the Blind in 1924, three years after it was founded. "This is an extraordinary event by our organization to provide this kind of public access," said Carl R. Augusto, the foundation's president. Keller became "a prolific writer, a peacemaker, a passionate advocate, not just for blind and disabled people, but for equal rights," Augusto said. Keller was constantly pushing for more and better programs, products and technologies for the disabled. Many services for the disabled today are due to her efforts, such as talking books, a uniform Braille system, increased Social Security payments for the blind and legislation that allowed visually impaired people to run newsstands. Helen Selsdon, the foundation's archivist, hopes visitors will come to understand the breadth of Keller's accomplishments. "She transcended her time. She was unflinching to her commitments to her ideals ... her activism," she said. The press clippings, photographs, letters and artifacts in the exhibit demonstrate Keller's huge influence. Keller knew great minds and leaders, from W.E.B. Du Bois to Albert Einstein to Dwight Eisenhower and could work with anyone, Selsdon said "She did more than anyone hopes to do with all our senses. She flew around the world in the 1940s and '50s when she was in her 60s and 70s," Selsdon said. Keller wrote to Roosevelt asking his support for the foundation's Talking Book Program. After he signed an executive order establishing the National Library Service for the Blind in 1935 that appropriated funds for the program, she thanked him, calling it "the most constructive aid to the blind since the invention of Braille." She was born to a prominent Alabama family, and Alexander Graham Bell and Mark Twain were great admirers of hers. It was Twain who coined the phrase "miracle worker" in describing Sullivan's remarkable work with Keller. Visitors will learn that Keller was not only an advocate for the disabled, but also a suffragette, socialist and an early member of the American Civil Liberties Union. She was in favor of birth control as early as 1916, according to a letter she wrote to a socialist magazine defending anarchist Emma Goldman for advocating birth control. Two months earlier, in a letter to Keller, Goldman said she had been looking for "a big, brave American woman" for 25 years and "you are among the very few." And in a 1933 letter to German students who burned her book "How I Became a Socialist" she wrote: "History has taught you nothing if you think you can kill ideas." She also visited 35 countries, helping to open schools and revolutionize services for the blind. The gifts she received from dignitaries and admirers are part of the exhibition. Among those being shown for the first time are a silver-bound bible from her 1952 visit to Israel and a Zulu shield with an accompanying letter from the tribe that says the shield "is an equipment of a great warrior and that is how we think of you." Keller died in 1968 at age 87, four years after receiving the nation's highest civilian award, the Medal of Freedom. Augusto imagines that if she were alive today, she would be leading the foundation in expanding the use of technology to people with disabilities. Other personal effects on display include Keller's desk, a phone that provided her with a direct link to the fire department and her 1955 honorary Oscar for the documentary based on her life, "Helen Keller in Her Story." The exhibition, running through July 30, is accessible to people with vision loss. The foundation said it hopes to feature additional material from the archive in future exhibitions.

Merkel Tries to Beat Back Opposition to Afghanistan
By JUDY DEMPSEY
Published: April 22, 2010

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/23/world/europe/23iht-germany.html

BERLIN — Faced with solid public opposition against the war in Afghanistan, Chancellor Angela Merkel told legislators Thursday that German troops were not yet going to withdraw from the country, but would remain there to prevent the spread of international terrorism. “We cannot expect our soldiers to be brave if we lack the courage to do what we decided,” Mrs. Merkel said in a speech to Parliament, which was followed by a long debate about why German troops were serving there. If Germany withdrew its troops now, it would be “irresponsible,” she said, and Afghanistan would sink into chaos and anarchy. “Our mission is not to be there permanently, but to be reliable,” said Mrs. Merkel, adding that Germany’s goal was to hand over security to the Afghan police and army. She did not say when the 4,500 troops would leave the country. Afghanistan has become Mrs. Merkel’s biggest and most difficult foreign policy challenge since taking office five years ago. But it is only recently that she has begun to speak about the issue publicly. With two out of three Germans opposed to the war, according to a recent poll in Stern magazine, and with casualties increasing — seven soldiers were killed in the past three weeks — Mrs. Merkel had been criticized not only by her own conservative Christian Democrats, but also by the highly influential mass circulation Bild newspaper for failing to explain to the public why German troops are based in Afghanistan. Bild also criticized her for never attending a commemoration ceremony for dead soldiers. Only after Bild pointed that out a few weeks ago did Mrs. Merkel, for the first time, attend such a ceremony this month. In her speech Thursday, Mrs. Merkel was unusually frank about the shortcomings in Afghanistan since NATO troops were sent there in 2002. “There has been some progress but there has been too many steps backwards and our goals were either unrealistically high or partly wrong,” she told legislators. She even questioned whether it would be possible to have a Western-style democracy in Afghanistan. She did not mention that Germany’s efforts to train the Afghan police have been criticized by the United States and other allies because the training program was considered too academic, too long and ill-suited to Afghan circumstances. Germany has since handed over the training program to the European Union. Her speech won some support from the opposition Social Democrats, who are in a quandary because when they were in government from 1999 to 2005, they supported sending troops to Afghanistan. Sigmar Gabriel, the leader of the Social Democrats whose grass roots are traditionally pacifist, is staunchly against Germany remaining in Afghanistan. He called for a an independent assessment that would determine whether the new U.S. counter-insurgency strategy would succeed. Mrs. Merkel’s speech was roundly criticized by the Left Party, which has consistently called on the government to end its mission in Afghanistan. On Wednesday, General Stanley McChrystal, commander of American and NATO forces told legislators in Berlin that the U.S. strategy entailed working much more closely with the Afghan security forces, but also engaging much more with the Afghan public, which he admitted carried more risks for the troops because they would be more exposed.

MASH UP

Miranda Kerr = pink
Angela Merkel = blue
Hellen Keller = green

The war in Afghanistan was a daring adventure for a big, brave American woman. The atmosphere was electric and the goal was to not leave the country. She was constantly pushing for more and better troops with highly influential soldiers, to rule 35 countries including Afghanistan.
She was a great warrior, a miracle worker, with hopes to be a first time leader. She was consistently questioned, by the German troops, but won some support by the public. There were 500-plus irresponsible Afghanistan soldiers but her biggest and most difficult issue was posing up a photogenic storm.
She demonstrated an extraordinary foundation with anyone who made progress in her training programs and shouted at the scum who would sink into chaos. This great warrior taught them how to kill anyone who got in the obstacles in their path.With her great mind she turned her troops into brave soldiers. It wasn't enough for her because the training program was considered too academic. She did more than anyone could think of. She was born to be a soldier.
After 19 months, the 26-year-old beauty won commander of American and NATO forces and recieved the Medal of Freedom.

FINAL CRYSIS SUBMISSION

Completing my model in Crysis was such a mission but I had managed to come up with good enough snap shots. I had fun learning this program especially going through so many tutorials. I had gotten familiar with the basic tools and created this landform.
The hardest part was rotating the buildings and objects to its right stance.
Over all I am happy of my outcome.

This is my final submission. This picture is just an overlook of my land form and my buildings created with google sketchup, and crysis.
The round plate looking form is the meeting place which over hangs over the cliff.
The structure is well planted into the sides edge.

This is just a perspective of my building looking down from the mountain tops.

Another angle in a different day light.

Here I have added some lights and also a bit of rain. Which was pretty cool and fun to play around with. I have also changed the sky to make it match with the rainy atmosphere.

Here is a shot of the meeting place at night time, all lit up.
Each building has the same designed ramp which lead to the meeting place in the middle.
