Explanation behind Barack Obama's Space
Barack Obama, according to many the most powerful man at present is elegant, charismatic and straightforward. Therefore a simple space was designed for him on 3 different levels which would be easy to access through the lift and the bridge. Movement within the structure was simplified and transparency was huge in the design. The extensive use of tinted glass allows view from outside and inside. Concrete has been used as a material as it signifies 'strength' and he is a strong and dominating man. His office towers over everything else in the plan. Rooms have been designed higher up so that he can constantly keep an eye on Prada through his windows, since he is the 'boss'.

Prada as one of the world's most popular fashion designers is all about fabric and clothing materials. Inspiration for this lift came from rolled up fabric bundles and thread rolls.

Inspiration for Obama's floating elevator came from satellites in space. The fact that America is the world's richest country and has the NASA space station is related to the choice. Obama as the president of the world's wealthiest nation can afford to have a lift like that and it is an evidence of his ultimate power.

EXPERIMENT 3 MASHUP
Prada has become the MOST-WATCHED designer working in fashion today because she exhibits, explores, and displays it, and feels no compunction about doing so publicly. Prada herself is a walking contradiction as she did it to remind everybody she could bring happiness or she could bring danger. Barely 100 days in office, the U.S. president and his Democratic Party have firm CONTROL over her complicated opinions.
Her body was a WEAPON. A fatal weapon. Certainly there is no shame, and there never has been. It is the problem of surviving in this complicated world. To explore these complications Obama is seeing evidence that with POWER comes the occasional stroke of luck. The U.S. president is friendly but guarded, and seems to resist answering certain questions because the power to FORCE Madonna is going to be difficult.
“She is someone who has a highly charged sexuality, and, unlike most people, she neither disguises it nor is ashamed of it”. The White House and Congress must be in CONTROL because it is a level of influence and POWER for a president that is literally unprecedented from any time since the New Deal and Franklin Roosevelt.
Does she ever slow down? Pansexual Madonna seems to resist because she is ARROGANT enough to want consumers to buy her sight unseen. Becoming big and wanting to stay small and sophisticated, Barack Obama is revelling in presidential power and INFLUENCE unseen in Washington for decades. In other words, if he handles it right, it could be his century.
Prada has a way of demanding, that COMPELS you to give her your undivided attention. The ability to push through AMBITIOUS plans, she realizes can be very profitable. I think it’s about POWER.
