Unfortunately, when I uploaded my UT environment onto FileFront, a portion of the "title" has been erased. I am not sure why that happened or how to fix it, but the best i could do is inform you.

The part in the red is what got erased.
Please be aware of that, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

FINAL LAST WORDS
Motives Behind EXP3:
Most of the ideas and inspiration came from the Mash-Up that I've composed and the media. In my opinion, both of these clients are remarkable people that have achieved many things in their life in their own ways, and hence earned the authority of "POWER"
B.Obama:
Starting off in youth, dealing with death, bad habits and racism, has come far to what he is now -the president of the USA. I wanted to create a space of light, view, fluent direction and clarity, as well as taking a journey through the stages of B.Obama's life. Going through each and one of these obstacles of life has led B.Obama to the ultimate area - his presidential office, along with a a shiny bridge.
Madonna:
Although highly successful and also very powerful have been at the top for a while. So far at the top that it felt like she was on "another planet". But eventually, as she gets older, her talent decreases, she embarks scandals, and slowly losing her edge. Spiraling down slowly down the platforms until she reaches the bottom - the scandal that was discussed in the Mash-up (hence the baby pram).
Meeting Space:
Depicted as the place "you rather not be". Defined as darkness, confusion, dreary and lonely. Horrid seats and tables, black ceiling, lack of light, confusing pipes. The place where we see B.Obama leaving it, and Madonna slowly entering it. Until Madonna slowly crawls out from the bridge (you must crouch when playing the map).

[FINAL] Madonna
Distance view of Madonna's Place. A Saturn-like planet spinning, and exploding its rings down towards the ground. The idea Madonna's life spiraling down slowly (age, mistakes, talent).
Interior of Madonna's place. A discotech scene of disco balls and flashy colours. The time Madonna was on top, with a party-animal attitude.
The spiralling process of Madonna's life. Spinning slowly and moving down minimally. The pipes on the sides of the platforms indicating a sense of protection of her power. Even though we only people, and make plenty of mistakes, due to Madonna's power, her reputation is maintained. Though the pipes are slightly tilted, directing her to one destination.
[FINAL] B.Obama
Overall view of Obama's area.
View from below. Green light indicating growth. Spiraling texture indicating a "whirl of challenges" always leading onto another challenge. Pipes connecting each platform, a sense of smooth transition.
View from above onto all of Obama's life challenges.
Polished shiny bridge, acting as a trophy for Obama's success.
The presidential podium over looking Madonna - conveying power. 
[FINAL] Meeting Area
The meeting spot for the two clients was intended to be dark, horrid, confusing and uncomfortable. This image conveys the idea of confusion through the steel pipes twisting and turning and the pitch black roof.
The chairs and table, made by using the smoove tool on a sphere in SketchUp. The result: an uncomfortable, ugly, and horrid seats for the clients.
[DRAFT]
[DRAFT] Meeting Spot: This bridge connects the central beam to the meeting spot of the two clients. Inspired by the works of “CALATRAVA”, this bridge was intended to float from spot to spot, but was did not look inspiring.
[DRAFT] Madonna Interior:Dark and very gloomy at first, but this room is meant to be Madonna’s “peak of power” area. Its round shape concludes the idea of an “all rounded person”, and many entrances into the room initiates her freedom and will.
[DRAFT] Madonna Exterior:Madonna’s space was decided to take place off a planet, symbolism of her being “in another world” - high in power and above the rest. The steel pipes act as protection, that even though we all make mistakes, carrying so much power and respect shield you from the outside.
[DRAFT] Obama Exterior:This enormous structure of slab concrete was to act as his endeavour through Barack Obama’s life, where within each of the building blocks played a theme of his life. From childhood to president as his life was leading right to the top.
[DRAFT] Obama Interior:Through the interior of Barack’s space were different life situations, leading to the top (as mentioned above). Here we see a simple mover taking on the journey from one room to the next. All the textures within the room are samples, so to give the room some depth.
