FINAL IMAGE CAPTURES AND ARCHITECTURE
The office space for powerful political figure Angela Merkel was designed as a representation of her influential views within society. The office itself houses her departments and was created as an open space providing an abundant of natural lighting exposed from the vertical elements providing the basis of an efficient work environment. The exterior of the bridge is a visual model of Merkel’s work ethic, the vertical compressed elements illustrate the intensity of her power and influence in delivering her message. The bridges compressed elements appear to be pushing forward from the landscape, pushing from a boundary which is Angela Merkel; her power is about pushing forward the views of those within society which she represents.
The core concept in designing the office space for Helen Keller was to create a space that opened a new experience to the surrounding environment stimulating her senses of smell and touch and allowing her to become part of the environment. The bridge is a representation of self empowering and ambition which Keller has advocated throughout her life. These traits have become the survival in times when she has had to catch and support herself during these struggles. In essence the bridge acts as metaphor of her life journey, catching and supporting her from the powerful and compressed structural elements which protrude from the adjoining office.

The table focuses as the meeting point for these two powerful and influential individuals, acting as an open forum to discuss important issues and views. The thick curved elements beneath the table top are crucially supported by the intermediate cables representing the united power between Helen Keller and Angela Merkel. The combing of two elements demonstrates past experiences and determination necessary in reaching goals and empowering others.
The combined meeting space is the central area on the valley floor and is the focal point which demonstrates the collaboration of these two diverse individuals. The dedicated passageway is designed to guide Helen Keller from her lift to the table with ease.
