SUBMISSION: Second Draft




KELLER'S OFFICE LEFT & KERR'S RIGHT LINKED BY INTERCONNECTED BRIDGE (see below post for explanation)

KELLER'S LIFT: AN INVERTED CUBE TO DEMONSTRATE HER POWER TO REFUSE TO LIMIT HER SELF TO HER POWER. THE EXPERIENCE OF A CUBE FROM THE EXTERIOR IS DIFFERENT TO THE EXPERIENCE OF CUBE ON THE INTERIOR. THOUGH KELLER WAS BLIND AND DEAF, SHE WAS NOT DISABLED.


KERR'S LIFT: INSPIRED BY JAPANESE ZEN GARDEN'S REFLECTING KERR'S BUDDHIST SPIRITUALITY, WHICH PROVIDES HER WITH MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL STRENGTH.
THE BRIDGE IS THE MOST VITAL ASPECT OF THE DESIGN, IT IS ABLE TO BRIDGE TWO WORLDS TOGETHER AND DEMONSTRATE THE CHANGE AND EVOLUTION THAT HAS OCCURRED IN REGARDS TO WOMEN AND POWER. THIS TABLE AS AN MEETING PLACE FOR THE TWO CLIENTS IS A TESTAMENT TO THE BRIDGE ABOVE, ACCENTUATING ITS IMPORTANCE. IT IS CURVACEOUS LIKE THE FEMALE BODY AND EXPLORES THE IDEA THAT WOMEN ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO OPPRESSION, BUT RATHER THEY HAVE BECOME BOLD AND INTRIGUING CHARACTERS WITHIN SOCIETY.

They transcend their time. Unflinching to their commitments, ideals and activism. Keller became a prolific write, a peacemaker, a passionate advocate, not just for blind and disabled people, but for equal rights. She was fully committed to preserving the solidity, stability and unity of better programs, products and technologies for the disabled. German Chancellor Angela Merkel passionately called for an "acceleration" of solar powered houses with efforts to hopefully regulate rules and try to stabilise organic food and limit government spending ten years from now. Miranda Kerr suggested that writing incessantly to state Legislatures, Congress and presidents should make us think about meaningful change towards equal rights.
