My idea of power is dealing with it on the basis of how it can be used for both good or bad/selfish purposes. My spaces deal with polar opposites of light and dark, closed and open, privacy and company. I wanted the office spaces to focus and convey a sense of growth and multiplicity as it is this which has propelled the clients to power.




Yin's walkway to/from her office inside the bridge
Yin's entry way has a certain warmth to it that takes you immediately away from the openess of the meeting place and prepares you for something much more personal, dealing with power as self made. The openings give slight glimpes of the office below.



Yin's Office: Exterior View

Exterior view of Bridge

Yin's office and bridge reflect her business venture which has made her one of the world's most powerful women. The bridge looks like it is being eaten away paralleling the paper being consumed. Her office is made up of those 'throw aways', reused to make something new and commanding. In this way it relfects the idea of power being be used for something beneficial that is strong and solid, conveyed by the spaces striking angles.



Meeting Place: view from bridge
The meeting place combines contrasts of open and closed. It is open for inspiration with a view of the world directly in front of the clients as they meet, yet is enclosed for privacy with no view of the other spaces, minimising distractions as the clients collaborate and undergo significant decision making.



Slim's walkway to/from his office inside the bridge

Slim's elevator

Slim's walkway has a certain coldness and mystique to it that is masculine and authoritative. The elevator also has a delicate charisma which takes the client into a dark shaft then flying into mid air, playing on the jauxtapositions of light and dark both literally and symbolically with it implications to power used for both good and bad purposes.



Slim's Office
The entrance to slim's office convey's his business venture in telecommunications with the sense of speed and flow. His office is spacious, circular and bursts open expressing his power as on top of the world and thriving.
