EXP3 Elevator


Drafts on 2 different elevators, Left - Dean's elevator, Right - school elevator



Dean's elevator:

In order to cohere and relates with the meeting place, I decided to design a lift with similar curves and also intimate. And egg represents a sense of security and responsibility, in the case of Dean being the head of the school, it is his job to be responsible and protective of the school. 


The egg's smooth dimension also symbolises the the vision, which ultimately fits the character of the Dean



School elevator:


The main idea behind the school lift is more like a transporter, which provides smooth and elegant ride from one point to another, therefor I decided to work on the form or stream, in order to also echo with the design of the bridge.







Elevators in action:
I wish to make a video of the whole action of the lift getting off from bridge to meeting area, but unfortunately due to major technical problems, my bridge and elevators are not able to be imported into cry engine.
In place of a video I have produced some V-ray rendered images to show the series


Starting from the lower floor on the top of the bridge, the students and the Dean enters the lifts.

After that both lower down to safe height (avoiding collision with the ship on the harbour) and start traveling horizontally towards the Southern Park (where the meeting place is).

Two elevators traveling on over the harbour.


Arriving at the "circle"

The lifts orientations are cohering the rest of the follies, they land and sink down to the level where their platforms are just slightly high than the ground, then doors will open for the user to exit the elevator and head towards the meeting/dinning hall.
