The ideas behind my design...

Original Design concept:

New design concept for spaces and elevators:
With more thorough research into my two chosen powerful people Zhang Yin and Carlos Slim my original design concept was scrapped and completely changed. With my new concept (below) i wanted to design the spaces to represent my clients rise to power inparticular the way in which they rose to power.

Zhang Yins space (above): Zang Yins rise to power and wealth was through her Entrepreneurship with paper. She literally made billions of dollars through the recycling of American paper and producing boxes to export to China. So my design concept for Yin was to create a space that appears to have grown out of the bridges core through a paper like structure.

Dining table. materials: aluminium structure with glass top. Creates ultimate reflectiveness.

Carlos Slims space (above): Carlos Slim is now the wealthiest man in the world, so his power is exemplified through his wealth. To emphasise Slims power through my design, i decided to exaggerate the roof structure. Thus, the roof seems to hover over the landscape symbolising superiority and strength, both characteristics which Slim possesses.

Tips for entering my spaces.
The game will begin in Zhang Yins space, to move into the waiting room simply stand on the white elevator on the ramp and it will begin to move horizontally.

Once you are in the meeting room and wish to visit Carlos Slims space, the elevator on the right of the room will take you there... just stand on it.

Hope you enjoy my spaces.
