GAGA
 |
| Imposing height, geometry and pointed shape in plan |
 |
| Stopping the elevator track short creates tension between Gaga and the island |
 |
| the Gaga auditorium - her 'office' |
 |
| View down the bridge from the elevator showing suspension system |
THE MEETING PLACE
 |
| looking toward Gaga through Ive's Torri Gate - the gate adds ritual to Ive's entry to the meeting place and establishes a connection to the island |
 |
| the meetingplace looking toward Ive - 'power' suggested by the perspective of the high site from this lower vantage point and inhospitable cliff top site. |
 |
| meeting place toward Gaga - furniture linked to Gaga's anglar architecture. The downward pointing bridge and high overhead wings suggest 'power' |
IVE
 |
| Ive's site on the clifftop overlooking the meeing place enforces the concept of power while clean, curved lines acknowledge the client's connection to technology and 'zen like' design style |
 |
| rear perspective shows glass cylinder enclosing spiral stair and indoor tree planting |
 |
| interior of spiral stair and planting |
 |
| top floor - sky light and top of stair well |

And here's the flow graph - modified from Russell's to automate of the balustrade.

MASHUP
She was a pop-culture monster, but Today she is an inspiration. She's tapped into one of the primary obsessions of our age, cranking out weird stuff. Her commitment to confront the changing notion of what's "natural" has changed the way the world thinks. Her message is empowering, it’s about the top-selling artist that almost never made it at all.
More than any other individual the source of her greatest influence was the most successful designer on the planet. He took his share of beatings for nearly 14 years, struggled with many of the challenges to take the monster and turn the monster into a woman of moral character and a source of strength for millions. She would not become a guru overnight.
Inviting her into his hilltop home in San Francisco was the most extreme option but it has transformed her life. In this context, he had even more to offer - his Zen-like obsession and an abiding commitment to the principles of austere aesthetic constructed a persona from pop-cultural sources.
To him, where a thing is made is fundamental to its character. It’s an amazing synergy, the very thing that makes it so powerful. Makes you want to switch to an industrial design course.
